The new emperor will ascend the throne tomorrow, and it is said that he will not be in the palace, but on the tower of the imperial city.
The people of Chang'an thought it was impossible, but that day Chang'an and Wannian counties recruited a group of civilians to sweep along Zhuque Street, making this rumor a little more true.
Then some officials went to various workshops, and the officials began to spread the word, asking the people to go and watch the ceremony tomorrow.
"Zitai must have been so stingy back then!" "Yeah!"
"At that time, I went to his house for a drink. After drinking too much, he started talking about how poor he was. I said that this man was too stingy, but then I felt relieved when I thought about his background. I didn't expect that now that he is the master of the world, he would still be so stingy.
"
"That's not stingy." "What is that?" "Frugal."
Li Han said angrily: "Being frugal doesn't mean you have to skip these etiquettes." "Then why do you think it is?" King Wei asked.
"Let me see! He is troublesome!" Li Han stood outside the imperial city, pointing forward and said: "When your Aye was in power, every year during the Lantern Festival, lanterns piled up outside the imperial city, even with gold foil, etc.
Lanterns decorated with various objects. At night, from a distance, it looks like a fairyland. If it were Zitai, he would definitely say, why is it so troublesome? There are many rich people in Chang'an City, whoever wants to do it."
King Wei smiled, "Actually, if the emperor is like this, and his actions are effective, the world will naturally rest with the people."
"So, I think Zitai will create an unprecedented prosperous age. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay?" Li Han looked at him, "I know you don't want to watch your Aweng and Aye fight against Zitai, but this
It’s life!”
"There are many people who have come to look for me in the past few days." King Wei said sarcastically: "Many people have given me advice. The most common one is to go to Western Xinjiang. It is said to be atonement. But what is my crime?"
"These people are trying to pry into Zitai's thoughts, why bother paying attention to them," Li Han said.
"But I am tired of being in Chang'an." King Wei said, "I don't want to be in Chang'an either." "Then where do you want to go?"
"Go to the east!"
Later, King Qin received a memorial: "King Wei invited you to go east?"
King Qin raised his head and asked, "Where is he?" "Just returned!"
King Wei returned home.
"how?"
Concubine Shu asked.
"Wait!" King Wei said, "He will ascend the throne tomorrow, and he has been very busy these days. I sent the memorial today to reassure him before he ascends the throne, so as to avoid him being in a dilemma."
"There are few people in the east, so we can live peacefully." Concubine Shu pulled off his clothes for him, "From now on, we just need to live and multiply there. Who will remember anything after decades!"
"Second brother." Sister Huang came out and saw him back, and asked happily: "Is there any news?" "Wait!" King Wei said.
"Go to the east and I will build a big blacksmith shop!" Huang Damei said longingly: "Aye's spirit in heaven will definitely be happy. Concubine Shu followed King Wei to the study and said, "Forget him!"
"I know." King Wei sat down, "He doesn't regard me as his son, nor does he regard you as his woman. Apart from blood, I don't owe him anything."
"You were born after ten months of pregnancy, and I gave you all your flesh and blood." Concubine Shu said firmly, "For him, it's just a one-night stand."
King Qin just thought about it and put it aside.
When he ascends the throne tomorrow, his dinner will be a bowl of brown rice and a small plate of pickles. Yi Niang said: "This is etiquette."
"Eat a bowl of brown rice and remember that it was difficult for your ancestors to start a business..." Han Ze read beside him.
"Shouldn't we sympathize with the hardships of the people who can't even afford a bowl of brown rice?" King Qin questioned. Han Ze said awkwardly: "That's what it says in the book given by the Ministry of Rites."
"absurd!"
King Qin said: "Not talking about meat, let's get some cooking cakes. I like that one, so go quickly." King Qin likes to eat shortbread, and he can eat five of the huge steamed cakes in one meal.
"No need." Yi Niang stopped Han Ze who was about to go out. She took out a bag and opened it. Inside was a cake.
"The biscuits are more delicious! But if you ascend the throne tomorrow, you don't want to offend God, so just be a vegetarian!" Yi Niang said with a gentle look on her face. As for the ancestral rules, she had long thrown them aside.
"tasty!"
The King of Qin liked the toughness of the cake, the fragrance of the dough, and a hint of sweetness.
The pickles turned into pancakes, and he ate them with great joy. He occasionally looked up and said, "When I was eating pancakes when I was a kid, I always thought how great it would be if I could eat pancakes all my life."
Yi Niang smiled and said, "I can eat it all the time in the future!" After eating the cooking cakes, King Qin went to bed early.
Tonight he sleeps alone.
Han Ze went out and told him, "Don't come unless there is no big deal." King Qin slept soundly.
But that night, many people could not sleep well. "He will ascend the throne tomorrow."
Yang Xinxiang's hands slowly passed over the charcoal basin, and he said softly: "When his horse trampled on the Yang family, I had all the men ready to kill him. But Aye told me not to act rashly. It's a pity."
"Who would have thought that that scoundrel could reach this stage?" Sitting opposite Yang Xin was Chun Yu Dian, the new head of the Chun Yu family. "Drink."
There are two bottles of wine and two wine glasses on the table next to it.
The two drank a glass of wine and Chun Yudian said: "Back then, Aye was almost assassinated by that evil general Ju Chang. If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be a son of man in vain!"
"Put all these thoughts aside at this moment." Yang Xinxiang said: "Once he ascends the throne tomorrow, he will have a great reputation. Let's wait and see what he will do."
"He hates us and other aristocratic families to the core... By the way." Chun Yudian whispered: "Is it possible that he was aware of what happened back then?" "Didn't your family wipe it out?"
"It was wiped out a long time ago." "Then what are you worried about?" "I'm just afraid that he will be unreasonable." "That's a tyrant!"
"What if he is not afraid of the name of tyrant?"
"The powerful people in the world will rise up in order to protect themselves. The Tang Dynasty is at war...Does he dare?"
"This is what I thought of." Chun Yudian poured himself a glass of wine, but played with the glass and refused to drink. "But how long will he be an emperor before he is thirty? As long as he reigns, our family will be uneasy.
One day, I don't know when a disaster will come... Don't laugh, were you and my family innocent in respecting the emperor back then?"
"Innocent! Both hands are flawless!" Yang Xinxiang raised his hands, half-smiling but not smiling, "Where is Chunyu?" "You have a clear conscience!"
"Then... cheers!" "Cheers!" The two of them drank it all in one gulp.
"I died in honor of the emperor!" Yang Xinxiang sneered. "It seems that he wanted to inherit his legacy."
"Looking at his face, I'm afraid he will die within a few years of being an emperor!" Chunyudian stretched out his hand.
Yang Xinxiang stretched out his hand.
"Crack!"
At the beginning of Yinshi, King Qin woke up.
He opened his eyes, and a strange emotion emerged spontaneously. "It seems that I am going to be an emperor today?"
"Congratulations, Xiao Xuanzi."
Li Xuan sat up, rubbed his face with his hands, and thought carefully about what he had to do today. "Is Your Highness awake?" Han Ze asked outside.
"Wake up." Squeak!
The door opened and Qin Ze took a look inside. Seeing King Qin sitting there, he turned around and waved, "Come here, everyone." A group of maids came in carrying robes and other items.
King Qin got up, stretched out his hands, and closed his eyes.
It took more than half an hour to get everything done.
The King of Qin, who was wearing a crown, stretched out his hand to smooth the heavy jade hair, and asked: "What if it gets into the soup after eating later?" Han Ze bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, there is no breakfast today." King Qin: "" "Aye!"
Li Laoer came outside unexpectedly.
"Who woke up this magic star?" King Qin covered his forehead and touched several strings of jade beads. The jade beads collided with each other and the sound was very pleasant. Li Laoer came in and saw his father's appearance and said in surprise:
"Who are you?"
King Qin reached out and picked up the jade, "Look at it." "Aye!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The King of Qin was so happy that all the unswerving thoughts of getting up early disappeared.
Immediately, Yi Niang came and said, "Er Langjun, my empress is waiting for you!"
After finally coaxing Li Lao Er away, Yi Niang turned around and looked at King Qin. She was suddenly stunned, and then she lowered her head to cover up, "Looks like!" "Looks like who?"
King Qin asked, "Like your Majesty!"
Yi Niang resigned, and King Qin said, "You will follow me today."
"It's not good!" Yi Niang looked at Han Ze.
Han Ze said: "Your Highness, there is no such rule, and there is no Yi Niang in the list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites."
King Qin came over, held Yi Niang's shoulders, and said seriously: "Many people are proud to follow Gu today. They all have more or less achievements, but in Gu's eyes, they are not as good as you!"
"Your Highness..." Yi Niang was a little at a loss.
"You have worked hard for half your life, and you should witness and share this glorious moment!" Han Ze winked at the chamberlain outside the door.
The chamberlain ran away as fast as he could, and ran all the way outside the palace. People from the Ministry of Rites were on duty here all night, preparing for various changes. When they saw him coming out, they asked: "But there has been a change?"
"His Highness said, let Yi Niang follow."
"It's very troublesome!" The official frowned, "By the way, what is the relationship between Yi Niang and His Highness?" "His Highness looked at her as if he were looking at A Niang."
At dawn, the morning light whitened the sky.
Han Ze looked at the morning light and praised: "Master Nian said that today will be a good weather, and indeed." King Qin came out.
Beside her are Yi Niang and Yang Lue.
Then came Zhou Ning with her two children.
King Qin turned around and said to Zhou Ning: "Don't worry, just come back when you go." Does this man actually regard ascending the throne as going out to play?
Zhou Ning nodded, "Okay!"
"Be good!" King Qin pointed at Li Laoer and said with a straight face. "Okay!"
King Qin nodded to A Liang, "Take care of your family!" A Liang saluted, "Yes!"
King Qin turned around and his eyes suddenly changed. "Let's go!"
One waiter after another shouted, and the sound spread continuously.
The ministers waiting outside the imperial city looked up at the palace.
"Your Highness, set off!"
The sound spread outside the imperial city.
The common people who had gotten up early in the morning slowly walked towards the front of the imperial city. Looking from the top of the city, the entire Zhuque Street was full of people.
An old man led his grandson and walked slowly through the crowd. The grandson raised his head and asked, "Ah, what are we going to see today?" "To see the new emperor ascend the throne."
"Why? Why not go home and eat."
"Because...he can make us eat and have enough to eat."
Everyone's eyes are full of hope, waiting for that person to walk up the tower. Waiting for that person to start a new chapter in the Tang Dynasty!
