At the beginning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the sky was clear, and there were still only soldiers and armor in the palace. There were no eunuchs, palace maids, or court officials walking back and forth. The ministers in Fengcui Palace were also anxiously waiting for the news.

At the time of the year, news finally came from the Yaqian Hall. Zhang Lin, the left commander of the Imperial Guard, escorted a small eunuch to Fengcui Palace to pass the imperial eunuch, summoning Zuo Xianglan and the Minister of Rites Huang Cheng, which surprised the civil officials and military generals because this summoning was in the way of the emperor's orders, but they didn't know which emperor.

No one knows whether the successor was decided now. No one believes that the rebellion has subsided, because the imperial guards were not wandering around the Fengcui Palace, but the rebels who entered the palace last night and have not retreated yet.

Zhang Lin, the left commander of the Imperial Guard, was an old subordinate of Lan and his son Lan Jing, so the two had some friendship. After receiving the order, Lan He came forward and asked in a low voice: "But the emperor summoned me?"

"That's right." Zhang Lin replied.

Lan He wanted to ask some questions, but seeing Zhang Lin's complicated expression on his face, he stopped asking each other. What he asked now is useless. If you know what to do, you will naturally know when you go to Yaqian Hall.

"Please ask Commander Zhang Zuo and this father-in-law to lead the way."

Lan He and Huang Cheng left Fengcui Palace. The palace gate was not closed, but a group of soldiers came to surround the main hall. The ministers were very nervous and did not know what was going on outside. At this time, they could only whisper and speculate on who was the head of the palace now. Some thought it was Liu Yu, and more people thought it was Hua Ji'an. Compared with Liu Yu, these civil officials and military generals were more afraid of Hua Ji'an. After all, Liu Yu was a prince from the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion. He also served as an official in the court and monopolized the power. At least it would not be too difficult for some ministers who had nothing to do with this matter. If Hua Ji'an was in power, then these civil officials and military generals would be more dangerous. A major purge was inevitable. Not to mention dismissing and losing officials, it would be good to save your life.

The discussion in Fengcui Palace was not stopped, and Zhang Lin, the left commander of the Imperial Guard, went back. What Zhang Lin brought this time was not the father-in-law who sent the order, but he personally came with the emperor's edict. Fengcui Palace also calmed down completely. Zhang Lin came in and went to the jade steps and read the edict: "Today, the officials will welcome him."

The officials looked at each other. The sixth day of the first lunar month was not the day of Wu, but the meaning of holding Wu Dynasty today was extraordinary. It should be that everything had been settled and was only announced. This time the emperor did not go up the jade steps from the side hall of Fengcui Palace, but had to enter through the main gate. Usually this was only held when a large ceremony was held. The officials also needed to welcome him. Could this be to welcome the new emperor to the throne?

The officials walked out of the gate of Fengcui Palace with complex emotions. They each gathered together and stood on the Danban waiting. In fact, they were looking at the direction of the Yaqian Hall, but they could not see anything except the new soldiers who passed by from time to time. At this time, the sun had risen to the southeast, which was already the third o'clock in the sun, and it was almost time for noon.

Among the civil officials and military generals in Fengcui Palace, the one who is most talked about is Li Yannian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he is only a civil official, his daughter is Liu Yu's "outside house", which is no longer a secret among high-level officials. If Liu Yu was wearing a dragon robe, then Li Yannian would be the father-in-law in the blink of an eye. At this time, the ministers did not come forward to ask questions, and would have a cursory contact and turn back, but there would be no chance.

But when the main lord arrived, the civil officials and military generals were still a little disappointed. The ones who were wearing robes and crowns came to court. They were quite familiar. It was not the Liu Yu or Hua Ji'an they expected, but the one who sat on the dragon throne in the morning of the court last morning, Su Yan.

Although the officials were a little surprised, they still knelt down to greet him. In fact, they were a little more grateful in their hearts, at least it means that the emperor had not changed. Even if the military generals were in power, a great purge of civil officials could be avoided. However, when they tried to find Liu Yu and Hua Ji'an by Su Yan or behind him, they never found him. Su Yan was surrounded by the queen Sun Xiaoyu, wearing a queen uniform and a big belly, and behind Su Yan was responsible for escorting General Yun Jin Qi Fang. There were many attendants behind him, but they were not imperial guards, but rebels. The officials found the eunuch leader Wu, among them, and his emotions were the most out of control, and he kept wiping tears with his sleeves.

Apart from these people, there were no two ministers left and right, the Minister of Rites, nor the Fourth Princess Su Bi. Some officials welcomed them to salute Su Yan, but were separated by Qi Fang, who walked out with a sword. The officials immediately understood that Su Yan was only a puppet emperor at most. They made it a little tactfully. Then Su Yan led his followers to Fengcui Palace, with civil officials and military generals following closely.

At this time, there were still soldiers of rebels with muskets everywhere in Fengcui Palace. Su Yan was not surprised. He walked up to the jade stairs alone. Every step he took seemed heavy. When he arrived in front of the dragon throne, he touched the armrest with his hand and turned to face the court officials. The civil officials and military generals were about to wait for him to sit and bow, but Su Yan did not sit, but stood there without saying a word. Sun Xiaoyu, who was supposed to be sitting with Su Yan at the court ceremony, even did not even climb the jade stairs.

Su Yan looked at the civil and military officials below, and the civil and military officials also looked up at Su Yan curiously. There was rarely such a blatant look between the king and his subjects. Su Yan seemed to have lost the majesty of the emperor in the past, and stood there a little decadent. Finally, after a brief silence, Su Yan slowly spoke, his tone was also very stable, and even a little depressed.

"My dear friends... Actually, I have been in power since the country, and have not done anything big. If it weren't for the King of Changye... Marquis Wuyi was assisting me, I might have been driven off the throne long ago and continued to beg for food along the street..."

"ah?"

The civil officials and military generals below were in an uproar. Although Su Yan might have been threatened by the rebel generals, the emperor was still the emperor and the country was preserved. Su Yan's tone seemed to give up on himself.

An old minister walked up and sobbed and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh." Su Yan wiped his nose with his hands and wiped his snot with snot, and said sadly, "I originally wanted to announce it, but some people still haven't come. It's too early to announce it."

When Su Yan said this, the officials below had to express their opinions. They quickly knelt on the ground and sighed. Some people even shed tears and cried, as if they were crying for the emperor.

Su Yan said: "Why are you crying? Wait!"

After saying that, Su Yan was upset and really sat on the dragon throne.

Some ministers wanted to cry loudly, and the country was about to perish, so they had to show their integrity, but the emperor was not doing well. They cried without any effort, and they stopped crying and waited.

Su Yan obediently gave up to the side, which was equivalent to giving up the emperor's throne.
