Chapter 122 Hongmen Banquet Night Change: The Opening Ceremony of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (1)
Changle Palace.
A woman sat in front of the dressing table, staring expressionlessly at herself in the brass mirror.
The maid next to her looked at her and said cautiously: "Queen, the enthronement ceremony is about to begin. Your Majesty has ordered you to attend."
Cui Xunzhi didn't answer.
A few days ago, she was forcibly brought into the palace.
If she hadn't taken the medicine given by her master to stupefy Sima Jun, she would have been bullied by now.
This Sima Jun just wants the power of the Cui family behind her.
The Cui family of Qinghe was the first gentry in the Jin Dynasty. Even after moving south, their descendants were all over the world - some people were coveting this power in the past, and now they are the same with Sima Jun.
But... if he wants her to be his queen, he has to see if Cui agrees.
After the maid carefully urged her again, Cui Xunzhi applied lipstick, put on a beaded crown, and said calmly: "I, a member of the Cui clan, can you come to Jiankang?"
"Your Majesty said that if your Majesty attends today, you will definitely see the Cui clan. You can also see the governor of Yangzhou."
"Well, let's have a fan at the wedding. Bring me my fan."
The maid was overjoyed, knowing that Cui Xunzhi had agreed, and immediately took out the red phoenix fan that she had prepared and sent it over.
Cui Xunzhi got on the phoenix chariot and was carried out of Changle Palace by his attendants.
Bells and horns sounded one after another in Jiankang City.
This announced the change of power and the rise of a new generation of emperors.
The common people stayed at home and looked at the red damask all over the city, and their hearts were indescribably complicated.
Not long ago, the newly ascended Emperor Taikang forced Emperor Yongkang and the ministers who supported him to death, and also killed countless Su guards who were resisting in the city——
The smell of blood and corpses that filled the city did not disappear until the eve of the coronation ceremony.
Could such a cruel emperor really bring prosperity to the Jin Dynasty?
At the beginning of the enthronement ceremony, Emperor Taikang led hundreds of civil and military officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Among them, standing at the front was Lu Zhong, whom everyone once looked down upon.
Yes, after Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, Lu Zhong was worshiped as Dazai and presided over the overall situation.
The original Dazai Huanfeng was imprisoned in his mansion and indulged in drinking and sex all day long - it is said that he still does not know about the major events that happened in Jiankang City.
In the tall building next to the ceremony, Xie Yuan watched quietly as Emperor Taikang ushered Cui Xunzhi to a high position. Below stood a group of Cui clan members who dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
Seeing that Cui Xunzhi was safe and sound, he slowly turned his head and met a pair of familiar eyes.
"I said, I will prove it to you." Lu Zhong smiled slightly.
Xie Yuan walked into the room and sat down, poured a cup of tea very calmly, took a sip, and then looked at the former steadily: "I'll say it again, I, Xie Yuan, have never looked down on anyone, including you, Lu Zhong.
.”
Lu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue talking when he saw someone drinking tea with a calm face, turning a blind eye to his show off, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of frustration.
"Make a choice, be loyal to His Majesty, or die together with Huan Feng, and those children from poor families and common people?" Lu Zhong said calmly.
Xie Yuan raised his head: "Why do you want to kill them?"
"How can they, who are so lowly, be able to become officials on the same journey as our nobles?" Lu Zhong chuckled.
"That's not what you said seven years ago." Xie Yuan opened the lid of the tea.
Lu Zhong was stunned.
It turns out that they have known each other for seven years.
"Choose, death or life. If you don't choose, I will choose for you." Lu Zhong frowned and asked again.
"You have no right to choose my life or death." Xie Yuan raised his head with deep eyes.
"Lu Zhong, have you really decided to assist Emperor Taikang? Can't you see his true face clearly?"
"I said, I want to prove to you that it was not you, Xie Yuan, who made me what I am, but I made myself what I am! Without you, I can still achieve great things!" Lu Zhong's eyes suddenly grew a little brighter.
Ashamed and annoyed.
Xie Yuanmo.
walk slowly.
I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it.
"In this case, then you and I have nothing to talk about. From today on, you will walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will cross mine on the single-plank bridge. We are not from the same place, and I will not assist Emperor Taikang." Xie Yuan turned his head.
Looking out the window, no longer looking at Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong stared at Xie Yuan's back and pursed his lips tightly.
Xie Yuan, you would rather die than serve the new emperor with me.
Do you just look down on me so much?
A moment later, Lu Zhong’s voice came angrily——
"Xie Yuan, you are so disgusting!"
Then he slammed the door and left.
When the area became quiet, Xie Yuan looked at the sky.
It's evening.
By now, they should be almost ready.
…
At night, the new emperor held a banquet and invited all officials in Jiankang to the banquet to celebrate his accession to the throne.
In addition to these courtiers who gathered around Emperor Taikang's ascension to the throne, there was also an unexpected person.
That is Xie Yuan. This chapter has been completed!
