Chapter 1: The Throne Ceremony

The sun is bright in the sky, and the clouds are white.

The wind and snow that had been blowing for many days finally stopped, and the sun shone on the earth again, bringing the slightest warmth.

Loulan, which had been in turmoil for seven days, finally returned to calm at this time.

Just today, Han Rongxuan will finally become the emperor of Loulan. Early in the morning, the entire palace began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony in a panic. The originally lifeless palace became festive again. After a tragic event

In the massacre, no one who had ever been related to Concubine Yu was spared. Those whose homes were ransacked and those who were killed were killed, causing almost everyone in Loulan to feel in danger.

The only lucky one among them is Han Rongxu. As the biological son of Concubine Yu, he should have been the first person to be beheaded. But what is strange is that Han Rongxuan did not kill him, but demoted him to

The slaves were slaves for life. People were curious and thought that Han Rongxuan might be caring about brotherhood, or that there might be some use in keeping Han Rongxu. In short, for the people, it didn't matter who became the emperor.

The important thing is just to keep them fed.

At this time, all the ministers in the main hall of the palace had started to walk from the entrance of the main palace to the court hall. All the officials from the prime minister to the sixth grade officials were present.

They lined up on both sides, started to go up the stairs with about a hundred stone steps, and then walked into the court hall and stood there, all patiently waiting for their king.

There was a moment of silence in the court hall. None of the ministers dared to speak. Even their breaths were gentle. The surroundings were so quiet that one could almost hear their own heartbeats.

"The Emperor has arrived." Following the announcement from the eunuch, everyone cheered up and quickly retreated to both sides, leaving a wide avenue.

Not long after the eunuch reported, Han Rongxuan appeared in front of everyone, dressed in golden silk with dragon patterns embroidered on it. His long, thick hair was tied up by a golden crown, and his handsome and resolute face was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

, those deep black eyes were calm and ruthless, the high bridge of his nose made him look particularly arrogant, and his thin lips seemed to hint at how ruthless he would be.

With the black boots under his feet, his tall figure wrapped in a dragon robe exudes a majesty that cannot be ignored.

Stepping on the very smooth polished blue and white stone floor, every step he took was extremely heavy.

In order to get this throne, he went through all the hardships. No one would have thought of what he had gone through in these years. He endured all kinds of insults and the disdainful looks of everyone, just to be able to take back what belongs to him today.

.He has been waiting for this day for twenty-six years.

He once swore that one day he would make everyone who had laughed at him and looked down on him regret it! And now he has indeed done it.

Looking at the dragon chair directly in front of him, he felt for the first time that this chair was so close to him. For him before, all this was so far out of reach.

He walked up the steps covered with red carpet step by step. Looking at the dragon chair in front of him, he knew that it was all his, and he finally fought for it!

Turning around, he looked down upon all the princes and ministers. His lordly appearance shocked everyone without any need for modification.

He sat down elegantly and watched all the ministers kneeling down and shouting to him. "The emperor's blessings are as great as the heavens and for eternity -"

He closed his eyes and listened, with a slight smile on his lips.

The eunuch standing next to him hurriedly faced the front and said loudly, "The emperor has an edict. He is very happy to be enthroned. He will grant a general amnesty to the world. All people will have their taxes reduced for three years. The year will be named Xuan. The whole world will celebrate -"

"Hail, Your Majesty—" the ministers shouted in unison, and the entire hall was filled with echoes of the mountain's cry of long live the mountain.

"Pingshen." Han Rongxuan replied coldly.

After receiving permission, the ministers quickly stood up.

Han Rongxuan's sharp black eyes slowly scanned the faces of His Highness, and his expression was particularly loud and unpredictable. "I know that some of you may not want me to get this throne, because I was once among you.

Some of those people have been insulted, and you must be worried now that I will retaliate against you."

Among the hundreds of ministers, many were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were sweating profusely when they heard this.

Seeing the reactions of some of them, Han Rongxuan just curled up the corners of his lips. "But don't worry, I'm not a vindictive person. I don't want to care about the past, but that doesn't mean everything."

I will forgive everything." He suddenly paused, his eyes looking straight at an old man in his fifties who was standing among the ministers.

"Master Huang, Minister of Rites, stand up!" Han Rongxuan looked at him coldly and shouted in a deep voice.

The old man's body trembled suddenly, and he quickly stood up and knelt down to Han Rongxuan. "Wei Chen is here." His heart was as nervous as a drum, and his already thin body suddenly shook with the wind.

Like fallen leaves, one can't help but break into a cold sweat for him.

"Raise your head." Han Rongxuan raised his black eyes slightly and commanded in a cold voice with no expression on his face.

Mr. Huang hurriedly raised his head, his wrinkled face was now surrounded by fear. It was such a cold weather, but his face was covered in cold sweat.

Han Rongxuan looked at him and suddenly showed a smile. Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes, which made him feel even more creepy.

"When I was sixteen years old, you wrote a letter to the court suggesting that I be exiled from the palace and make Han Rongxu the crown prince. I remember that what you said at that time was impassioned and very reasonable. Today, I want you to put all the words you said back then.

Say it again." He said, taking a memorial from the eunuch's hand and throwing it in front of Mr. Huang.

This Master Huang is Concubine Yu's last confidant. He has never touched him, not because he dare not, but because he wants to wait to do it in front of all the ministers on this day to establish his prestige.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang's whole body trembled even more violently. He quickly kowtowed to Han Rongxuan, unable to say anything else except begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, forgive me. I was all forced to do so."

I'm helpless! I was also forced by Concubine Yu. Wei Chen really didn't mean it. Wei Chen is loyal to the emperor..."

He said a lot of words in succession, but there was not a word that Han Rongxuan wanted to hear. "That's not what I want to hear. I want to hear what you said here back then. Say it, I'm waiting to hear it."

"Your Majesty, I beg you, for the sake of my old age, please spare me!"

Han Rongxuan frowned, and his tone began to show a trace of impatience. "I want you to read it!"

Mr. Huang stopped begging for mercy and was about to burst into tears. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to obey Han Rongxuan's wishes and picked up the memorial with trembling hands. He began to speak word by word with a trembling voice. "To the Emperor, Prince."

It is the foundation of a country. If the foundation is not stable, the country will be unstable. Now the emperor has two sons. The eldest son of the emperor, Rongxuan, is an ignorant person, and his mother... his mother..." Master Huang did not dare to continue reading, he

His whole face started to turn pale with fear.

"Read it!" Han Rongxuan said solemnly.

Mr. Huang had no choice but to continue reading. "Furthermore, his mother, the late Queen Wang, had always been ungrateful and lacked the wisdom and generosity of a woman. But the second son of the emperor, Rong Xu, was not like that. He was smart and had the talents of an emperor.

.I heard that Prince Xu could read poetry and books at the age of three, and was familiar with the ways of the emperor at the age of six. He was even better than before at the age of ten. No one in the country could compare with him. His mother, Concubine Yu, was virtuous and noble, and her conduct was unparalleled.

You can choose. Therefore, I sincerely request the emperor to make the emperor’s second son Xu the crown prince, and move the emperor’s eldest son Xuan out of the palace and establish a new gate."

After finally reading all the words on the memorial, Mr. Huang had already bent down in fear, his head on the ground, and burst into tears. If he had known that things would turn out like this, what would he have said at that time?

Nor would he follow Concubine Yu's arrangement and write this memorial. Unfortunately, money can't buy it. How could he have imagined that the 'ignorant person' he called him would actually become the emperor today.

After hearing this, Han Rongxuan's smile deepened. He looked at Mr. Huang who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. There was no trace of sympathy in his black eyes. That's how people are. When you have power, he will

You are like a dog, but when you have no power, he will step on you hard and treat you like a dog. Now Mr. Huang regrets it, but if the person who ascends the throne today is Han Rongxu,

I'm afraid that he will be impassioned and eloquent again, begging Han Rongxu to kill him and eliminate the harm to the royal family.

This is the face of these ministers, they will always support powerful people!

"Kill!" He didn't have any extra words, just one word that could almost freeze the blood in your whole body instantly.

Mr. Huang stopped crying instantly. He was so frightened that he couldn't hear anything at all.

The eunuch waved his hand, and the guards on the side hurried forward, dragged Mr. Huang up, who had already been frightened, and pulled him out directly.

When the guards were almost dragging him out of the hall, Mr. Huang came back to his senses, crying and shouting towards the hall, begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Your Majesty, for the sake of Lou Lan..."

His voice gradually became farther and farther away, until finally he could no longer be heard at all.

All the ministers were shocked, and no one dared to say a word. In this situation, everyone just wanted to get rid of Mr. Huang quickly. Who has the courage to intercede for him?

Han Rongxuan stood up and carefully scanned all the ministers again, then stood proudly in front of them and said in a deep voice to them.
