Chapter 523: Emperor's Evening Banquet
Seven days later, the new emperor of Yu Kingdom ascended the throne, and the other five countries sent envoys to congratulate him. However, this time, there were no political tasks, mostly for celebration ceremony, and the five countries sent all the ritual officials in the court.
Originally, this was a major event that everyone in the six countries talked about, but now they have seen the missions and ministers who ascended the throne, not talking about the grand occasion of the young emperor of Yu State ascending the throne, but the new emperor actually led a six-year-old girl to the throne.
"Yong'an, you can follow the fourth uncle, and we will complete his unfinished great cause for your father." On the eve of the throne ceremony, King Cheng picked up Yong'an and said softly.
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at her fourth uncle blankly. Before she could react, she was picked up by King Cheng and appeared in front of everyone.
Outside Wuying Hall, the guard of honor formed by the Imperial Guards stands on both sides, yellow banners fluttering in the palace, and the sun shines brightly in the capital.
The new emperor slowly ascended the throne in a dragon robe. At the throne ceremony, after the official summoned the emperor to ascend the throne, he immediately issued another edict, honoring the crown prince Xian as Emperor Rende, and the daughter of the crown prince Yong'an Princess Yong'an Princess.
The masses knelt on His Highness, shouting long live the mountain. The new emperor looked ahead, and his young face showed great dignity.
The emperor ascended the throne and changed the year name to Xuanhe. This year was known as the first year of Xuanhe. The palace change two months ago was later called the "Yuanqing Rebellion".
At dusk, a piece of news came from the Ministry of Justice Prison. The young eunuch Jing bowed and entered the imperial study room to report in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, King Xiangyang and King Gaoyi committed suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Justice."
The new emperor, who had just finished the ceremony, stood there for a long time, and a trace of crystal flashed through his eyes.
These people left one after another, and the era of the previous generation will eventually pass.
A hint of sadness flashed in the new emperor's eyes, and he sighed long, "Buried your two uncles well."
"Yes." Eunuch Jing replied in a low voice.
The new emperor walked out of the imperial study room, stood at the door and looked at it. The square palace walls blocked most of the sky, and a slight ray of sunset shone in the distance.
He raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
"Where is King Chang'an and King Xuanqing?"
"They came from the vassal state to celebrate His Majesty's ascension to the throne. They are now waiting with their ministers at the Wuying Hall."
The new emperor nodded slightly, "Let's go, it's time to pass."
At the entrance of the palace, a group of people slowly headed towards the Wuying Palace. Ye Ningyu, Jiang, Ye Yonghe and his brothers, Duan, with three children, the officials of the Ye family, and those who were granted the titles were granted the titles. Every time they entered the palace to attend a banquet, there were a large group of people. However, this time, there was less Ye Anjun, who had already "dead".
A few steps away from Wuying Palace, Ye Ningyu was stopped by a voice.
"Miss Ye."
Everyone was very familiar with this voice. Ye Ningyu didn't say anything. Jiang smiled first when he heard the sound, then turned around and looked, and two familiar figures appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Bai." Jiang nodded slightly.
"Madam." Bai Chengzhi and Liu Yiping behind him greeted the Ye family one by one.
"Mr. Bai is here too." Duan greeted Bai Chengzhi with a smile.
"Mr. Bai and Your Majesty are close friends. Mr. Bai will naturally be here for such a big banquet." Ye Yonghe smiled.
"Teacher." After Ye Anshu bowed to Bai Chengzhi, he subconsciously looked at Ye Ningyu, wanting to see if there was any strange look on his elder sister's face. But he still felt that the expressions of the two were very ordinary and could not detect any strangeness.
"It's better for us to go in together." Bai Chengzhi suggested with a smile.
Therefore, two more people were added to the already vast Ye family team.
In Wuying Hall, everyone sat in turn, and there were still court officials above the third rank, wife of the imperial family, and royal family and clan delegations. Ye Ningyu sat in one place with Jiang, and Bai Chengzhi sat opposite her.
In the main seat, the new emperor was in the middle, and the new emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager, sat on one side. The empress dowager's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked a little unsatisfied. On the other side, there was also a small table.
Although the official of Li said that it was inappropriate to set up the little princess' seat here, the official of Li shut up under the eyes of the new emperor.
Forget it, this new emperor can ascend the throne with the little princess, what is the current banquet?
But Yongan didn't know that her position had caused some storm. At this time, she was sitting there, her eyes shining with curiosity and looking at the crowd under the cushion. Suddenly, the moment she saw Ye Ningyu, her eyes lit up and she smiled slightly at Ye Ningyu.
Ye Ningyu also curled his lips slightly and responded with a smile.
The new emperor and the queen mother raised their wine glass, "I have no talent and no virtue, and I am in the upper hand. Everyone here is either the pillars of the court, or the friendly neighbors of Dayu. I hope you can help you to work together in the future and create a peaceful and stable world with me, and return the people to peace and happiness."
After saying that, Emperor Yu and the Empress Dowager raised their glasses together and drank them all in one go. Everyone also raised their glasses of unusual wine that the emperor personally respected.
Ye Ningyu smiled slightly as he listened to King Cheng's words.
A peaceful and stable world will bring peace and happiness to the people. The new emperor did not speak loudly on such occasions, saying that he created a peaceful and prosperous era. What he thought was just a peaceful and stable world. It sounded like an emperor was not generous enough, but Ye Ningyu knew that this was the most worthy thing for an emperor to protect.
"Your Majesty, I think with Your Majesty's heart and talent, let alone peace and stability, even if you create a prosperous era of prosperity with a prosperous country with a prosperous country with a strong country and a strong country, it is only a matter of time."
This was particularly obvious in the hall, and the court officials present frowned slightly. It would be fine to say the power of the superior country in front of their own people. The envoys of the other five countries are still there. If this is spread, it will inevitably be laughed at.
"Cough cough." Cui Jingzhong, as the court official with the highest qualifications and positions in the palace, coughed at the Chang'an King who raised his glass and spoke. He looked at the new emperor again, "Your Majesty puts the peace and happiness of the people first, which makes the old minister admire him. Getting this monarch is a blessing for the people of Dayu!"
Cui Jingzhong looked grateful and cried, his voice almost choked, and after saying that, he bowed deeply to the emperor.
When the ministers saw this, they were all a little shocked. Cui Xiang was still the same Cui Xiang. Although the emperor changed, the right minister's skill in flattering was above everyone else. His eyesight was obvious, his reaction, and his face.
After a brief silence in the hall, Duan slowly stood up, "Your Majesty, Cui Xiang is right. Although this princess is a woman, she also knows that the people should be the first of the emperor. The people are happy, and the people are happy is a prosperous era. If the people are uneasy, the national treasury will be filled and the troops are strong, it will be useless. It is not a country of the people, but a country of royalty."
After Duan said this, everyone's eyes fell on the Hengyang princess.
Everyone sighed. The princess's words were very bold. She was obviously a member of the Duan family, but she said that Dayu was not from the Duan family. Any emperor in this world likes to hear such words.
Everyone looked at the emperor slowly, wondering if the new emperor would suddenly change his face.
