Everyone's eyes fell on him, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Han Derang said: "We in the Liao Kingdom are unfortunate. His Majesty has passed away and there is no master in the country. The most urgent task at the moment is not how to deal with the princess, but to establish a Majesty as soon as possible so that the people of the world can look up to them and not be at a loss.
People's hearts are in turmoil." Many people couldn't help but nod their heads, feeling that what the Prime Minister said was very true.
Han Derang continued: "The suggestions of the King of the South Campus and the Grand Marshal on how to deal with the princess are both reasonable, but after all, they are both ministers and princes, and the princess is also a prince with outstanding military exploits, so no matter how the deal is done, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied.
.I think it would be more appropriate to leave this matter to the new emperor. At that time, no matter what decision the new emperor makes, I don’t think anyone will be dissatisfied."
Ye Ganden said respectfully: "The Prime Minister is right! The top priority now is not how to deal with the princess, but to support a talented new king to lead us! As for how to deal with the princess, it is not for us ministers to make the decision.
It's up to the new king to decide!" Many ministers echoed. This Ye Qidian Jinglun is an important figure among the nobility of the Liao Kingdom, and his words represent the views of a considerable number of the nobility of the Liao Kingdom.
The words of Han Derang and Yeqidang Jinglun represent the views of the neutral nobles and ministers who make up the vast majority of the Liao Kingdom today. Neither Brother Yeqi Xiu nor Yeqi Hucheng dare to ignore their opinions.
requirements, not to mention their views are quite correct.
Brother Yeqianxiu thought in his mind and said: "What the two adults said is reasonable, let's do it like this." Brother Yeqianxiu expressed his position, and now only Yeqianhu City is left, and everyone's eyes are on Yeqianhu
Ye Qi and Hucheng frowned. He was worried that the new king would most likely not let his little sister go when he succeeded to the throne. However, the current trend was that there was nothing he could do. He sighed in his heart and nodded: "Okay, just
Do it like this!"
When the ministers saw that Brother Yegan Xiu and Brother Yegan Hucheng had agreed, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that the two would get into trouble because of this matter. In that case, everyone would not have a good life.
Ye Qianhu said: "Your Majesty died suddenly and did not leave any edict. How should we choose the candidate to succeed the new king?"
"I propose that the King of the South Courtyard should succeed to the throne!" A minister immediately shouted. As soon as this was said, everyone looked at him with side eyes, and some people agreed. "I propose that the Grand Marshal should succeed to the throne!" A minister who was close to Brother Ye Qianxiu was unwilling to accept it.
He called out weakly, and some people echoed him. Then people on both sides started to accuse each other, and soon it escalated to cursing each other, and then pushing each other. Everyone looked extremely excited, and the situation was in danger of getting out of control.
.
Seeing this scene, the Prime Minister couldn't help but feel deeply worried, and thought to himself: It would be great if His Majesty the Emperor had a posthumous edict. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe!
At this moment, a moving female voice came from the door of the hall: "Who said that His Majesty did not have a posthumous edict?" The originally noisy hall immediately became quiet. People looked at the door one after another, and saw the Queen Mother and the King walking towards her.
Behind him were four palace maids holding up their skirts. Brother Ye Qianxiu frowned and had countless thoughts in his mind.
The king walked up the jade steps, turned around, took a brocade box from the hand of the palace maid next to him, and held it in his palm. Everyone saw her taking out a brocade box, and they all murmured in their hearts: Could this be your majesty?
How come you haven’t heard of his will before?
The king's wonderful eyes glanced at the ministers and princes, and his red lips opened and closed: "This is your Majesty's will..." Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Brother Ye Qianxiu jumped out and questioned: "This is absolutely not the case.
Maybe! No one has heard that His Majesty has a will before, so how could one suddenly appear?" Many ministers felt that what Brother Ye Qianxiu said was reasonable, but they did not dare to question it openly. The current situation is completely unexpected.
It is expected that if he jumps out to question, the new king will probably look down on him when he succeeds to the throne in the future, so it is better not to come forward and wait and see what happens.
The king said calmly: "This is indeed the decree left by His Majesty. If you ministers don't believe it, you can check it to see whether this decree is true or false! You are all the pillars of the Liao Kingdom. I believe it is true or false at first sight.
You will know." Then he handed the brocade box to a palace maid next to him. The palace maid held the imperial edict and walked down the jade steps, came to the king of the south courtyard, bent down, and raised her hands high.
Ye Qi Hucheng took the brocade box and opened it. Everyone saw the golden light in the brocade box. It was indeed an imperial edict. Ye Qi Hucheng took out the imperial edict and opened it. He was illiterate and could only read the mark of the jade seal.
Sure enough, it was stamped with a jade seal and he nodded and said: "It's true." Then he handed the imperial edict to Han Derang, "I don't know the words. Can you see what your majesty's imperial edict actually says?"
Handerang took the imperial edict with both hands and read it. First of all, he also looked at the seal. There was no mistake. It was indeed the emperor's jade seal. From this point alone, he basically believed that the imperial edict was genuine, because the emperor's jade seal was hidden in the emperor's palace.
In the palace, as the Queen Mother, it is impossible to come into contact with the jade seal; looking at the handwriting, Han Derang, as the emperor's prime minister, has long been accustomed to the emperor's handwriting, and he can tell at a glance that it is the emperor's handwriting.
So he said with great joy: "It's not wrong, it's not wrong, it's the emperor's will!" When the ministers heard this, some people secretly sighed, but most of them breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that since there was the emperor's will,
If I wish, then the new emperor's accession to the throne will be a matter of course and there won't be any trouble.
However, some people were unwilling to give in and listened to Brother Ye Ganxiu: "Prime Minister, why do you say with such certainty that this will is true?"
Han Derang said: "First, the jade seal is correct, and second, this handwriting is indeed your Majesty's. If you don't believe it, you can come and take a look." After saying that, he handed the imperial edict to the ministers for circulation, and Brother Ye Qianxiu also read it.
With a gloomy look on his face, none of the ministers raised any doubts, and finally the imperial edict was returned to the hands of the Queen Mother.
The king glanced at everyone and said: "His Majesty has decreed that his son, King Ye Qianlong of the Song Dynasty, should be enthroned, and that the Queen Mother Wu Lie (that is, the Queen Mother) should listen behind the curtain. Do you comply with the decree?" How should everyone respond to this question?
What? Could it be that the answer is not in compliance with the order? Wouldn’t that be blatant disobedience to the holy command, and the crime should be punished by death?
Brother Ye Qianxiu still refused to give in and snorted coldly, "Handwriting can be counterfeited. As for the jade seal, who knows if the jade seal is still in your majesty's palace." Wang Jun said with a puzzled look: "Generalissimo, is it true?
Do you want to resist the decree?"
Yeqi Hucheng glared and said: "Since His Majesty has a decree, how can we and the ministers disobey it! You kid is so verbose, do you want to resist the decree?" Although Yeqi Hucheng felt in his heart that this imperial edict was so serious
That's not right, but firstly, I want to establish a new leader as soon as possible to stabilize the people of the world. Secondly, I feel that the will is true and cannot be disobeyed, so I stand on the side of the king and reprimand Brother Ye Qianxiu. Many ministers such as Han Derang also
Everyone cast dissatisfied looks at Brother Yeqianxiu, and their thoughts were similar to that of Yeqianhu City. Brother Yeqianxiu was shocked when he saw the public anger, and said hurriedly: "I am not resisting the decree, I am just worried that something will happen.
It’s just a problem.”
Wang Jun asked: "I wonder how the Generalissimo can be sure?"
Brother Ye Qianxiu thought for a while and felt that there was only one way to test whether the imperial edict was true or false: if the imperial edict was false, then the jade seal must no longer be in the palace. If the jade seal could not be found in the palace, he could deny the inheritance accordingly.
If the edict is true, then all the ministers will have nothing to say.
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately said: "This matter is of great importance. Although it is suspected of offending the late emperor, it has to be done like this." Wang Jun asked: "How does the Grand Marshal want to verify the authenticity of the imperial edict?" Brother Ye Qianxiu said:
"It's very simple. If the imperial edict is true, the jade seal must still be in the late emperor's palace. On the contrary, the jade seal must have been stolen, and the imperial edict is naturally false." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Jun's face.
There was a glimmer of pride in her eyes, and she couldn't help but cry inwardly: I'm so stupid. It's possible that the jade seal was stolen, but it's also possible that some of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were bribed by her and secretly made it.
This matter!
Ye Qianhu said in the city: "In that case, let's go to the palace to have a look together. Although we are disrespectful to His Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely forgive us!" Then he glared at Brother Ye Qianxiu and said fiercely: "If this happens after this,
If anyone still questions this matter, I will treat him as a traitor!"
Brother Yeqianxiu was regretting falling into the other party's trap. At this time, he was even more distressed after hearing what Yeqian Hucheng said. However, at this point, he had no other choice but to hope that the jade seal was no longer in the palace.
Already.
Immediately, a large group of palace nobles and court ministers followed the king to the harem. Along the way, there were rockeries, streams, exotic flowers and plants, which were extremely beautiful, but no one had the leisure to watch them at this moment.
Soon after, everyone arrived in front of the Qiankun Palace where the emperor lived. The guards, eunuchs and maids guarding the palace were all surprised when they saw such a huge battle, and quickly knelt down to salute.
Wang Jun said: "No courtesy." Everyone thanked them and stood up, but they still bowed their waists and lowered their heads. Wang Jun looked at the old eunuch in charge of Qiankun Palace and said: "We want to see His Majesty's jade seal, please take us there.
." The old eunuch raised his head and looked at everyone, responded, and led the way, followed closely by everyone. Entering the palace and coming to the dragon bed, the old eunuch pointed to the wall above the bed and said: "The jade seal is here.
Hidden there!" Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw that it was a smooth and smooth wall. It didn't look like there was a hidden compartment at all. They couldn't help but think: It's so hidden. It should be only His Majesty and His Majesty.
Only the two eunuchs knew where the jade seal was stored.
The old eunuch walked over, knocked on the wall, and then pushed it. Everyone heard a soft click, and a hidden compartment immediately appeared on the originally smooth and smooth wall. The old eunuch reached in and immediately held a
A foot-square gold box came out and said to everyone: "This is your majesty's jade seal!"
"Open it and take a look!" Wang Jun ordered.
The old eunuch responded, holding the gold box and walked to a small table. Everyone gathered around, staring at the gold box, waiting for him to open it. The old eunuch slowly opened the gold box, and everyone stretched their necks and opened their eyes.
My eyes were wide open. The lid of the box was completely opened, and I saw a huge square jade seal squatting in the middle of the gold box. It was said to be the jade seal passed down from the time of Qin Shihuang. It can be said to be a rare treasure. Even the Song Dynasty in the south
There is no similar jade seal in the capital. It can be said that it is unique in the world. Everyone knows that the jade seal in the gold box is the real jade seal without a doubt. Brother Ye Qianxiu's face is very ugly.
Wang Jun put his hands into the gold box and carefully took out the square jade seal, raised it high, and turned it around so that everyone could see it clearly. Everyone looked up at the jade seal, and their eyes could not help but show respect. Wang Jun will
The jade seal was put back into the gold box, closed the lid, and told the old eunuch: "Put it back and keep it under guard until the new emperor takes over." The old eunuch responded, returned to the secret compartment with the gold box in hand, and put the jade seal back in front of the secret compartment.
The gold box was put back, and then the secret compartment was closed, and the wall returned to its original appearance.
Wang Jun sneered and glanced at Brother Ye Qianxiu, who stared at Wang Jun, his eyes full of evil and resentment. Wang Jun said to everyone: "This is His Majesty's palace, let's go back to the front
Let's go and talk about it." Everyone nodded, and a large group of people left the palace and came to the main hall in front.
Wang Jun glanced at everyone and asked: "Do you still have any objections now?" Ye Qianhu said: "It was not false in the first place, it was just an unnecessary move!" Brother Ye Qianxiu lowered his head and said in one sentence
He didn't say anything. Although he still didn't believe that the imperial edict was true and thought that all this was done secretly by the king, he still had nothing to say. It wasn't that he had nothing to say, but he couldn't say or say anything. Today
The situation has been controlled by Wang Junshuo. Most of the ministers and nobles, including leading figures such as Yeqi Hucheng, Han Derang, and Yeqi Denjinglun, all made it clear that they recognized the authenticity and authority of the imperial edict, and proposed their own
The question has just been refuted in front of everyone. What else can he say now? If he objects again, I'm afraid everyone will regard him as a traitor!
Seeing that Brother Ye Qianxiu was silent, Wang Jun secretly felt proud and said loudly: "Since no one has any doubts, we will carry out your Majesty's decree and invite King Song and Concubine Shu to come over and succeed to the throne!" This Shu!
The concubine is the mother of King Ye Qianlong of the Song Dynasty and a descendant of the Liao aristocracy.
A palace maid responded and immediately ran down. Brother Ye Qianxiu frowned and wanted to stop him, but until now he was powerless. He couldn't help but cursed secretly: "This insidious woman, she wants to cut the knot quickly and let her
I don't have any chance of making a comeback!'
Soon after, there were footsteps at the door. Everyone turned around and saw behind the palace maid, a beautiful and elegant woman of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a long skirt and holding an infant in her arms.
Baby. Facing such an occasion for the first time, Concubine Shu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The baby in her arms also burst into tears. All the princes and ministers looked at each other, feeling a little funny, and they couldn't help but say in their stomachs: Let's build such a baby.
I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for a baby to become an emperor.
Wang Jun shouted to Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, come up, mother and son."
Concubine Shu responded quickly, walked over quickly with her son in her arms, climbed up the jade steps, stood beside the king, and looked at the princes and ministers under the jade steps very shyly.
The king raised his voice and said: "In accordance with the late emperor's decree, we support King Song as the new king!" Then he bowed slightly to Concubine Shu and her son and said: "Long live my emperor!" Upon seeing this, all the princes and ministers followed the mountain and shouted.
Long live, bow down. At this point, the baby will become the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Some ministers couldn't help but sigh in their stomachs: In the past, we laughed at other people's child emperors, but we didn't expect that our Daliao Kingdom would actually have such a day!
A maid standing behind Concubine Shu whispered in Concubine Shu's ear: "The Queen Mother has been ordered to listen to politics behind the curtain. The Queen Mother and Your Majesty should salute the Queen Mother." Concubine Shu is a woman who has no independent opinions. When she heard this, she
He quickly hugged his son and gave Wang Jun a slight blessing and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother! From now on, we, mother and son, will all rely on Queen Mother to take care of us!" Wang Jun said with a smile: "This is a matter that belongs to the Ai family. Concubine Shu, you don't have to be polite!"
"Then he turned around and said to all the princes and ministers: "The new emperor has ascended the throne and everyone is celebrating. The people in the capital will give each person a bottle of wine and two catties of meat. All the ministers will stay in their original posts and be given first-class titles."
The princes and ministers were originally worried that there would be some major personnel changes immediately after the child emperor ascended the throne and the queen mother had the power. However, after hearing what the queen mother said, not only would no adjustments be made to anyone, but everyone would also be given a title, they couldn't help but feel endless joy.
I sincerely thank the Queen Mother for her great kindness.
Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu and others observed around the Princess Mansion and saw that three thousand armors surrounded the Princess Mansion like an iron barrel. Not to mention people, even flies could not fly in.
Several people came to a nearby tavern and found a seat by the window and sat down. They casually ordered a few side dishes and drinks, and the drinks and dishes were served after a while.
Yang Peng drank several glasses of wine in a row, and when he wanted to drink more, Yelu Hanyu held down his glass and said angrily: "Brother, even if you are drunk, it will not be of any benefit to the matter in front of you.
"Yang Peng sighed, "Actually, I have expected this situation a long time ago. I originally expected that there would be an opportunity to take advantage of it, but now this expectation has finally been shattered!" He turned around and glanced at the heavily guarded Princess Mansion not far away, frowned and said, "That's it.
With three layers of guards inside and three layers outside, we can't save anyone at all! The plan we made before can only deal with more than a thousand armors at most, but now there are three thousand armors and a large number of palace guards, hey!" Naren asked hurriedly:
"Then what should I do?"
Yang Peng didn't answer, he frowned and thought, he hasn't given up yet, he is still thinking of a way.
At this moment, on the street outside the tavern, someone ran over excitedly, shouting loudly as he ran: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, the new emperor has ascended the throne! The imperial court has rewarded the people of the capital with wine and meat. Everyone, go to the palace to receive the reward.
Come on!!" He shouted and ran over, and everyone in the entire street, including the shops on both sides of the street, became commotion.
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Yang Peng frowned and said: "I didn't expect the new emperor of Liao to succeed so soon!" At this time, the people in the tavern were looking at each other.
I hurriedly checked out and ran out, including the boss and the waiter.
Yang Peng stood up and said, "Let's go take a look too." Everyone stood up and Wang Kai took out a broken piece of silver and threw it on the table.
Several people left the tavern and followed the crowd towards the palace. They saw countless people of all ages, men, women and children in all directions in the streets and alleys, rushing towards the palace. It was really empty. In fact, most people did not really want to receive the imperial palace.
I just want to see the new emperor. Everyone is happy. They have been on tenterhooks these days, but now they can finally feel at ease. With the new emperor, everything should slowly get better!
Yang Peng and others followed the crowd to the square in front of the palace. Yang Peng stopped and said, "Let's see who the new emperor is here." Everyone nodded and stopped crowding into the square in front.
Standing under a willow tree, the crowd of people was passing by and converging on the large square in front of the palace. At a glance, I saw that the square was crowded with people and bustling with people.
Yang Peng moved his eyes to the gorgeous gate tower on the palace gate, wanting to see who the new emperor of the Liao Kingdom was. It was the tradition of this era that when the new emperor ascended the throne to grant amnesty to the world, the emperor would also go to the palace gate tower.
Meeting the subjects also allowed everyone to know what kind of person the emperor was.
After waiting for a long time, the palace gate suddenly opened wide, and then thousands of armored soldiers rushed out and surrounded the entire square. The noisy people couldn't help but quiet down, and looked up towards the gate tower.
.
I saw a eunuch ascending the city gate tower, flicking his fly whisk, and shouted in the voice of the duck: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has arrived!..." More than 100,000 people knelt down and worshiped. Chen Xiao and others stood
He was very far away, so he didn't kneel down, and it was impossible to kneel down.
The eunuch's voice was still echoing in the air, and the city gate tower suddenly became splendid. Dozens of maids walked up to the city gate tower, surrounded by two beautiful women wearing phoenix crowns and palace clothes. Yang Peng and others were quite surprised.
Strange, because they didn't see the emperor. Didn't they say that the emperor had arrived? Where was he? Then everyone noticed a situation. The queen mother actually held a baby wrapped in a yellow silk bundle in her arms. Several people looked at each other, thinking in their hearts.
I'm thinking about one thing: Could that baby be the new emperor of Liao?!
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother raised their voices and said: "The new king has succeeded to the throne, and the whole world is celebrating. Why don't the subjects and the people pay homage to your new emperor?"
More than 100,000 people kowtowed together and said: "Greetings to Your Majesty, long live long live long live long live!"
At this time, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies raised his voice and said: "The Empress Dowager has been ordered to listen to the affairs behind the curtain and assist the new monarch. Everyone has to pay homage to the Empress Dowager!"
At this time, the people were kneeling on the ground with their heads hanging, so they did not know that the emperor was a baby. They were all a little confused after hearing the eunuch's words, but they still worshiped together: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, may you live a thousand years!"
Wang Jun looked at the dark crowd of people kneeling on the ground in front of her, and a feeling suddenly arose in her heart that she had the world under her control, which made her extremely excited. Wang Jun suppressed his excitement and said loudly: "Everyone, please get back on your feet!"
Everyone said together: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager!" and then stood up one after another. At this time, everyone was able to look up at the emperor, and found that the emperor was actually a baby being held in his arms, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
