Chapter 712 Xiao Liuzi enters the imperial city, Lord Zheng sits on the dragon throne
"Come up and sit." Ji Chengjue invited Zheng Fan.
“You want me to drive you?” Zheng Fan asked.
Last time outside the capital, Emperor Yan and King Jingnan were riding in a carriage, and the driver was Zheng Fan.
“That’s nonsense.” Ji Chengjue smiled, “If you are willing, I won’t be polite.”
"What a beautiful thought."
Zheng Houye turned over and got off Pixiu.
On the other end, in the carriage.
Ji Chengjue looked at Ji Chenglang and said:
"Second brother, you go down first."
Not a discussion, but an order.
But somehow, Ji Chenglang felt that this commanding tone made him more comfortable.
He hated his father, but like the fourth prince, after his father passed away, he became confused again;
It was that person he hated, but it was that person he was used to. The current lifestyle;
“Good.”
So,
When Zheng Fan was about to get on the carriage, Ji Chenglang came out first.
Zheng Fan took a step back and let Ji Chenglang get off the carriage first. The two nodded, and then Zheng Fan got on the carriage.
Eunuch Wei wanted to lend a hand, but Zheng Fan refused.
In the carriage, there was no charcoal pot, so it was a bit cold.
Ji Chengjue sat there, watching Zheng Fan come in, and then watching Zheng Fan sit down.
“Old Zheng, I feel a little panicked.”
“Really or not?”
“It’s the same as when I became a father for the first time. After all, this is the first time in my life to be an emperor.”
“It feels familiar once and twice, but it will become numb after a few more times.”
Ji Chengjue nodded and leaned carelessly into the corner of the carriage. He looked extremely weak and helpless.
"My father is dead."
"I heard the bell. "
Ji Chengjue raised his hand and said:
"I killed him with a dagger, stabbing him in the chest."
"Your Majesty should be very pleased."
"Well, he forced me to move. He wanted to be freed, and I gave it to him."
"It's good."
"Zheng, I am already getting tired. I am sitting in the carriage now and have not yet ascended the throne, but I can already imagine in my mind that sixty years from now, I will be so tired that I am not human."
“Are you sure you can live another sixty years?”
"Why can't you have a serious conversation with me? When you were pretentious in the past, even though I was sick of it, I still cooperated with you on the surface."
"Well, okay, let's be the emperor. , if you want to be a good emperor, you must "It's very tiring."
"Yes, my mind is very confused now."
"Get some sleep. I'll call you when I get there."
Ji Chengjue thought so,
Weakly, he stretched out his weak arm, moved his weak hand, and pointed at Zheng Fan with his weak fingers,
"Zheng, let me lend you a shoulder to lean on."
"Go to hell. Come on, get out.”
“Hey.”
Ji Chengjue smiled,
It didn't reach my shoulders,
but I closed my eyes with satisfaction and started to take a nap.
Outside,
The carriage driven by Eunuch Wei arrived in front of the palace gate.
Ji Chengfeng has already walked over with Lu Bing.
The Chief of Ceremony, Wei Zhonghe, Eunuch Wei is driving a carriage, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is walking outside with him. Before, the person sitting inside must be Emperor Yan;
Well,
Now,
The person sitting inside must be Emperor Yan.
The stone in Ji Chengfeng's heart has finally fallen to the ground. He is not the same as Zheng Fan. No matter what, Zheng Fan can still cheer up after leaving Yanjing City and returning to his own Marquis Mansion. Unless Dayan wants to have civil strife. Otherwise, the court and the new king would not be too harsh on him.
But Ji Chengfeng is a prince, and the fate of the prince will inevitably undergo a profound reshuffle when the throne changes.
The fourth child is also the one who can put it down.
He has already put it down once at the roast duck restaurant.
So this time,
he directly Kneel down:
"Ji Chengfeng bows to your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Before he ascends the throne, it is not appropriate to call your Majesty long live;
But it is just a process missing, the former prince has While waiting nearby, Ji Chengfeng really couldn't think of anything else that could cause trouble.
No matter whether the sixth brother got the approval of his father and was passed on to the throne legitimately, or whether he obtained the throne by means of trickery,
Oh,
The dragon's chair,
is a winner-takes-all game.
But Ji Chengfeng knelt down and shouted, but there was still no sound in the carriage.
Immediately,
cold sweat began to break out from Ji Chengfeng’s forehead.
It is true that he is half a member of the Liu Ye Party, but the other half is a princeling.
He was asked by his father to lead troops to control the palace gates. He was in such a dangerous position, but he never sent a message to the current victor, not even a hint of a glance.
You can explain that you were very scared at the time, but you wanted to get something in return without giving, which is obviously impossible.
The ministers can protect themselves wisely. They are long-term workers for the Ji family anyway, but the prince is different. The prince is the brother of the new king and a relative. If there is something going on between relatives, if you don't pay any attention to it, it will really hurt people's feelings. .
Ji Chengfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, became more and more frightened and panicked as he thought about it.
Finally,
the curtain of the carriage was opened, Lord Zheng leaned out half of his body and said to the fourth prince who was kneeling in front of the carriage:
“Get up, he is tired, sleep. "It's over."
Ji Chengfeng felt like he was being pardoned, and subconsciously wanted to reply: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Fortunately, he held it back.
Zheng Fan reached out and patted Wei Zhonghe on the shoulder and said:
"Drive the car slower and let him sleep more."
Eunuch Wei immediately responded:
"Yes, I understand."
In Ji Chengfeng's With a signal, the Beijing soldiers guarding the palace gate gave way. After being given the order, these soldiers from the Beijing army obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
When they faced the Jingnan Army's cavalry before, they were scared to death. They were all eating military rations. They all knew in their hearts that if they really fought hard, they would not be able to kill them. .
The carriage entered the palace gate.
At the same time, the Jingnan Army brought by Lord Zheng also entered the palace.
Especially the guards in brocade robes, who were directly guarding the carriage. The neat steps, the uniform direction of the knife handles, and the neat rhythm of the soles of their boots stepping on the blue bricks of the palace, really Very enjoyable.
Wei Zhonghe drove the carriage to the front of Yangxin Hall.
Zheng Houye reached out and gently shook Ji Chengjue, who was really asleep,
Said:
“We’re here.”
Ji Chengjue opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
“You look like you deserve a beating.”
You are going to be the emperor, but you are still helpless?
"I'm sleepy." Ji Chengjue explained, "I didn't sleep a wink for a few days and nights before I went to war with you. It's the same as when I fell asleep after seeing that the overall situation was decided. I felt relaxed and it was difficult to get up in a short time. Get up, you should understand.”
“Many old men. This is what the old lady looks like after she gets her wish."
"Haha, I can't, my son is still young."
"You're welcome."
“Tsk, that’s right.”
Ji Chengjue stood up and walked out of the carriage.
Master Zheng came down from behind.
"Your Majesty, please take a short rest in the Yangxin Hall. Next, Lord Zaifu will enter the palace with hundreds of officials." Wei Zhonghe reported.
"Yes." Ji Chengjue nodded and walked towards the Yangxin Hall.
After walking a few steps, he saw that Zheng Fan didn’t follow him, so he turned around and waved to Zheng Fan, urging him:
"Come here."
Master Zheng followed him up.
The rest,
Wei Zhonghe said to Ji Chenglang and Ji Chengfeng:
"Your Highnesses, please come with the servants and change your clothes first."
The two princes were taken down.
The Yangxin Hall is actually a place for small meetings. There is also a dragon chair inside. It is not as majestic as the main hall, but it is indeed a kind of dragon chair.
After Zheng Fan walked in, he put his hands on his hips and said:
"It goes very smoothly."
Ji Chengjue nodded and said: "When I use the dagger After stabbing into the father’s chest, things became simple.”
After all, the late emperor had arranged everything.
Ji Chengjue simply sat on the floor, and Zheng Fan also sat down next to him.
"Are you going to meet hundreds of officials soon?"
Although Marquis Zheng is a marquis, he actually doesn't know much about etiquette.
"Well, the second brother will read out the edict to abolish himself first, and then Zhao Jiulang will read out the edict for my succession. Then, I will accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and this matter will be settled.
The process is still simple. ”
The most difficult thing is at the front. After finishing the front, the next step is just a formality.
At this time, Eunuch Wei walked in again. Lu Bing had other things to do outside. If you are busy, Eunuch Wei will be in charge of the inner palace.
The late emperor himself has made extremely detailed arrangements.
In addition, Lord Zheng’s army has already entered the palace. ,
It can be said that
Unless Lord Zheng suddenly loses his mind and wants to rebel, there will be no trouble in the palace.
"Your Majesty."
"What's wrong, so fast?"
"No, no, it's still early for things outside. The officials still need to prepare. In the palace, Preparations are still needed. Although it is not a formal enthronement ceremony, it cannot be too hasty. This is the intention of the late emperor. ”
The formal enthronement ceremony requires first offering sacrifices to heaven, and then condolences to the Ancestral Temple, a series of earthly procedures, and at the same time, various aspects of canonization.
Let’s not mention the canonization of meritorious ministers who win the title of heir. Just a series of canonizations such as the queen cannot be prepared easily. Fengguan Xiapei must be prepared, right?
Fortunately, there are only two women in the palace. The queen must be He Sisi and Ling Xiang. It depends on the emperor's will whether he can be made a noble concubine or not.
At most, the late emperor prepared a well-fitting dragon robe for his son, but it was impossible for him to prepare a phoenix robe for his daughter-in-law. It’s not that he couldn’t prepare it, but it was too embarrassing for him to prepare it as a father-in-law. Not suitable.
In addition, there are rewards from the Queen’s mother family, so there are many things to do.
Today is a formal appearance to tell the world who the new king of Dayan is, to stabilize the court and the people's hearts.
Then, there is still a national funeral to be held, and it is impossible to let Emperor Daxing's coffin stand still for too long.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is here." Wei Zhonghe reported.
The seventh prince himself lives in the palace, and he is now begging to come over to meet his brother who is about to ascend the throne.
“Let him in.”
"I obey the order."
Soon,
Xiao Qi came in,
with a smile on his face, he crossed the threshold of the Yangxin Hall and trotted He came over and opened his arms, looking happy.
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother..."
Xiao Qi ran over,
Ji Chengjue continued to sit on the ground like this, looking at him calmly.
In an instant,
Xiao Qi seemed to feel that the sound of Li Zhong was fake;
The mother and concubine said that the father passed away, and the servants also said that the father passed away. Collapse,
But
Isn’t his father still sitting in front of him?
Running,
Xiao Qi stopped,
Under Ji Chengjue’s calm gaze, he slowly knelt down and put away the Smile, salute and kowtow seriously:
"Ji Chengsu... Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Ji Chengjue still said nothing.
Ji Chengsu raised his head in confusion. He saw clearly that the emperor was actually still there, as if he was no different from before, but he was no longer his father, but... his colleague. Half-brother.
Ji Chengjue finally spoke:
"Pack up your things and take your mother and concubine to move to the prince's residence in a while."
"My son...Oh no, my brother, I will thank you for your kindness."
Xiao Qi is neither stupid nor naive. From the oldest to the youngest, none of the brothers in the Ji family is simple. of goods.
So, after Ji Chengsu received the order to thank him, he stood up and retreated.
He knew clearly that his words in the roast duck restaurant had led to the current situation. It was best to live outside the palace with his mother and concubine in a decent manner, without making any noise or making trouble;
< br>This is my brother, not my father.
Ji Chengjue looked at Wei Zhonghe and said, "Did the late emperor leave any instructions regarding the arrangements made by the people in the palace?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have not."
Ji Chengjue nodded. .
There are still many concubines living in the palace, but this is indeed the temper of his father. He will arrange everything for him as the heir. As for the women who have served him , he wouldn't care at all.
Ji Chengjue looked at Zheng Fan beside him and smiled;
"It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but my father has always maintained his cold-blooded character."
Zheng Houye looked at Eunuch Wei and did not answer.
"Okay, Eunuch Wei, go down and do your work."
"Your Majesty, my servant is waiting outside, just give me your orders."
"Well, don't do it for the time being. Let outsiders come in.”
"Yes, I have realized my mistake. I have realized my mistake."
Eunuch Wei bowed and retreated. He had just served the new king, and it was inevitable that he had an unfamiliar temperament. He should not have come to inform the seventh prince before. Yes, I have disturbed His Majesty and the Marquis of the West.
Ji Chengjue wiped his face with his cuffs and asked Zheng Fan:
"Do you think there is oil on my face?"
"Later. Just take a shower and change your clothes. Doesn't your hair also need to be changed?" Zheng Fan said with a smile on his face.
"Why don't we take a bath together, and wash your armor too? Otherwise, I'm so energetic in my dragon robe, and you look a little too shabby next to me."
"Armor, there's no need to be too glamorous. , I will ask Wei Zhonghe later. Some people in the palace should be cleaned up. Please stop sinking into the pond and give me some blood. Wearing armor makes you look really stylish."
"You are really trying to disgust me."
"You disgusted me first."
< br>What Ji Chengjue wants is to sit on the dragon throne with dignity and innocence,
What's going on with Ping Xihou, whose armor is stained with blood, standing next to him?
"I just saw it. The clothes of your personal guards are very stylish."
"Oh? You are full of warmth and lust after all."
A few days ago, Who cares whether the clothes of his bodyguard, Ping Xihou, look good or not?
Now, it feels good because he has the qualifications and conditions to purchase it himself.
"I just think that the clothes of the palace guards are too boring and not as stylish as those worn by your personal guards."
"Okay, I will send you the clothes pattern tomorrow."
< br>“What is this dress called?”
“Jinyi.”
“So simple?”
"Yes, it's that simple."
"Okay, then the guards in the palace can be called Jin Yiwei directly."
"..." Zheng Fan.
"What's wrong?"
"You can do whatever you like."
"The surname is Zheng."
"Yeah."
"Next, I want to do something."
"Cutting down the feudal clan?"
>Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:
"When I was a prince, this was what I was thinking about, but now, I suddenly feel that it is no longer necessary. Just before, when I was sitting in the carriage entering the palace, I felt like I was dreaming and waking up. I felt like I was flying into the sky... "
"Oh, you are floating."
"I looked down. The palace, slowly, I overlook the capital, and then slowly, I overlook the whole world.
Actually, I don't want to fulfill the last wish of the dead old man, what he wants, and me. It doesn’t matter.”
“You don’t need to explain.”
"But since I am sitting in this position, I have to do something. In the early years, there were rumors in the government and the public that the reason why my father was hesitant between my second brother and me was because he was struggling to cultivate his health and continue to forge ahead.
Even I think so, thinking that my father has made a loss for Dayan, and he is afraid that if he continues to fight, he will be afraid of future generations. The emperor, who also wants to leave his name in history, will completely destroy this diluted fortune."
"Then what?"
"Then I discovered that this. You're right. I haven't summoned the officials yet, and I haven't ascended the throne yet, but my heart has already started to get wild.
Zheng Fan,
You know,
Being an emperor is a completely different feeling than being a prince or a minister. "
Zheng Houye rolled his eyes and reminded:
"Brother, your question is very dangerous. "
"Hahahahahaha. ”
Ji Chengjue laughed and reached out to pat Zheng Fan on the shoulder.
"Come on, come on, come on, follow me."
Ji Chengjue pulled Zheng Fan, and they walked up the steps together to the dragon chair.
Ji Chengjue sat down first, but the dragon chair was very spacious. He reached out and patted the free space next to it,
"Come, let's sit together and feel it."< br>
In the eyes of others, this is your kindness to you, but if you really dare to sit down, haha...
It stands to reason that at this moment, Mr. Zheng should have countless examples of sages in his mind. Flashing ahead, like Lu Buwei, For example, Huo Guang, Zhang Juzheng, Obai, Nian Gengyao...
You know, the above few are domineering, but they seem to have never sat on the dragon chair, but the end is already over. Extremely miserable.
But Lord Zheng only hesitated for a moment or two, almost without any hesitation, and sat down on the dragon chair.
Then,
He also reached out and pushed Ji Laoliu,
said:
“You give way first, let me sit alone and feel it.”
“Hahaha, done. "
Ji Chengjue really stood up and stood aside.
Zheng Fan sat his buttocks in the center of the dragon chair,
First he sat upright,
Then,
he changed to a cross-legged posture,
and then Turn your back, lean on your back, lie down;
Immediately,
he changed his position again, that is, putting his hands on his knees, making a melancholy gesture.
Ji Chengjue smiled beside him and said: "Tell me, how do you feel?"
Zheng Fan raised his hand and said:
"Don't make any noise."
Then,
Zheng Houye took out his Zhonghua brand iron box from the middle of the chest armor and pulled out a huazi from it.
“Let me have a cigarette and feel it.”
Then,
He took out the fire certificate and handed it to Ji Chengjue who was standing beside him.
“You bitch.”
Ji Chengjue cursed, but still took the fire fold, opened the hat, blew on it, and then handed it over:
< br>"Come, Lord Marquis, I will light it for you."
Mr. Zheng held the cigarette in his mouth, leaned his neck forward slightly, and after lighting it, he took a deep breath;
Then,
smoke slowly spewed out from his nose.
Ji Chengjue smiled and asked:
"How do you feel?"
Mr. Zheng held a cigarette,
shook the ashes,
nodded,
said:
“I feel comfortable.”
