The jade chariot was driven up, and with all the equipment, thousands of forbidden troops cleared the way, and secretly there were masters from the Grand Master's Palace hidden in the crowd to protect him all the way. The group of people were so cautious as they escorted Xiao Cheng towards the palace.
Xiao Cheng was sitting alone in the carriage, and suddenly opened his right hand, revealing a Buddhist bead that Hui Chi had dropped before.
Only from his original memory, Xiao Cheng knew that Ganye Temple was extremely powerful. But it was not until the monks of Ganye Temple paid homage to Xiao Cheng in front of the temple just now that he truly saw the foundation of Ganye Temple.
Thousands of monks have profound knowledge, and there is no shortage of heavenly and earthly treasures, gold and silver materials, and Buddhist martial arts are also spread. The trained monks who protect the temple are like an elite monk soldier.
Moreover, Ganye Temple is located in the west of Qingcheng City, the capital of Yun Kingdom, with a commanding position. If there is a sudden attack, I am afraid that Yun Kingdom Kyoto can be conquered in one battle.
I think that coming to Ganye Temple is a trump card left by Taizu of the Yun Kingdom to future generations.
However, since Xiao Cheng could realize that Ganye Temple was the royal family’s trump card, he didn’t believe that Grand Master Wang Xiao would not have thought of it! Wang Xiao has been able to control the Yun Kingdom Court for more than 20 years, how can he be a fool? As for Ganye Temple, Grand Master Wang
Akatsuki must have already dealt with it.
Moreover, what puzzled Xiao Cheng the most was that Hui Chi.
Hui Chi was from the Yun Kingdom clan and became a monk on behalf of Xiao Cheng. With such a status, it was always a bit unusual to be able to get close to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng put away the Buddhist beads in his hand and murmured to himself:
"This Ganye Temple cannot be trusted anymore. At least, not now!"
Looking around, there is no one you can trust. Looking up, there is not even a single force that you can rely on. Such is the suffering of the puppet emperor.
In other words, Xiao Cheng has a golden finger and still has a little hope.
Nowadays, you still need to persevere until you draw extremely powerful cards, or simply accumulate enough cards to win by quantity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng no longer hesitated and equipped the Jin Huidi Emperor Card again.
The carriage's ceremonial guard was magnificent as it drove into Zhongqing City, Kyoto, Yun Kingdom.
The struggle in the court was far away from ordinary people. Ordinary people only knew that today was the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, but they went to the streets to join in the fun.
Zhongqing City is also known as the Spring City. It is like spring all year round. Even at this time of year, various flowers are in bloom. In accordance with the tradition of the Emperor Yun's enthronement, the people threw flowers and laid a flower path in front of Xiao Cheng's carriage.
Across the capital, there were jugglers doing their best, merchants taking the opportunity to sell their goods, and romantic places that had been closed for a long time due to the death of the late emperor opened their doors to attract customers.
Just looking at the scene in Beijing, it is a prosperous scene of flowers blooming and burning oil cooking.
The carriage walked slowly along the royal road in the city, and finally arrived in front of the Yun Kingdom Palace.
All civil and military officials and distinguished ministers had been waiting for a long time to line up in front of the palace. Seeing Xiao Cheng's carriage arriving, they all knelt down on the ground amidst the singing of the ceremony officials and shouted:
"I am waiting for you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Cheng didn't even need to speak, when a palace attendant came forward and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Your Majesty, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" All the ministers thanked in unison, and then stood up.
The change of the throne requires a series of extremely complicated etiquette in order to show legitimacy.
According to the process, the next step should be for an important minister to stand up on behalf of the civil and military officials and invite the emperor's heir to inherit the throne of the emperor. The emperor's heir expressed humility, and then the important ministers asked again. After three requests and three concessions, the emperor's heir can "reluctantly"
The emperor agreed. Then the emperor's heir would enter the imperial palace, accept the worship of all officials, and officially succeed to the throne.
But what is more embarrassing now is that after the palace attendants waited for a long time, no minister came forward to ask Xiao Cheng to take over the throne.
Although the whole process is just for show, if no one cooperates, it will be difficult for the scene to continue.
The officials pretended to be dead, and the palace attendants were at a loss. For a moment, both sides fell into a strange silence.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Who are these, and why are they blocking His Highness from entering?"
Everyone was stunned for a while, and when they followed the sound, they saw Xiao Cheng sticking his head out from the jade chariot, lifting the nine-pin crown on his head with one hand, and looking at the ministers in front of them with a confused look on his face.
When the palace attendant heard this, he quickly turned his head and didn't know how to respond to this, so he could only comfort him in a low voice:
"Your Highness, please be patient!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he blinked a few times and nodded indifferently. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and whispered a few words to the palace attendant on the side.
When the waiters in the palace heard this, they had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
"Why don't you go quickly?" Xiao Cheng urged.
"Yes!" The waiter hesitated for a moment, and finally had no choice but to bow to Xiao Cheng, passed between the officials, and headed towards the palace.
The officials waiting in front of the palace gate were a little confused. They couldn't help but look at each other and exchanged their eyes. Then they lowered their heads and installed the wood carvings again.
The two sides have been wasting away like this for the past two hours. During these two hours, no one on the Baiguan side spoke, and Xiao Cheng didn't make any noise about going in, so it was just wasting up.
Compared to Xiao Cheng who was sitting leisurely in the jade chariot, the standing officials were obviously more uncomfortable.
In this world, hundreds of schools of thought have passed down their knowledge and martial arts are prevalent. Even these court officials have also practiced martial arts, and there are even many who can be called masters.
However, this happened when they were young. Over the years, they have been pampered and stood motionless for two hours, which is really difficult for them.
All the officials were tired, thirsty, and hungry. Many officials looked pale and had beads of sweat on their faces. The older ones were even more shaky and about to fall.
And at this moment, a burst of tempting aroma floated from nowhere and rushed directly to the noses of the exhausted civil and military officials. Among the officials, there was a sound of hungry cries. The voices gathered together and sounded loud and clear.
It's quite shocking.
Some ministers who behaved in a self-possessed manner turned red in the face and lowered their heads in a hurry, feeling that they were extremely disrespectful and embarrassing.
At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind Baiguan.
Several palace eunuchs, each carrying two food boxes in their hands, passed through the queue of officials and ran towards the jade chariot frame.
The eunuchs walked by quickly carrying food boxes. The aroma in the noses of the officials became more attractive, and the feeling of hunger in their stomachs became stronger.
"Your Highness, lunch is here!" Several eunuchs ran to the carriage and bowed.
After a while, Xiao Cheng poked his head out, his eyes wide open, and the nine-pointed crown on his head tilted slightly, as if he had just woken up.
"Serve it!" He waved his hand and said.
Several eunuchs immediately opened the food boxes and raised them above their heads, and the eunuchs and maids who accompanied the jade chariot brought out steaming imperial meals one after another and put them into the jade chariot.
At the front of the hundred officials, a burly middle-aged man smelled the aroma and couldn't help feeling irritated.
I originally planned to use today's opportunity to get Xiao to admit the situation.
The emperor's carriage was blocked outside the palace, and the emperor's majesty was completely lost. He felt that if he did this, Xiao Cheng would take the initiative to bow his head and submit, and then he would just go with the flow.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Cheng didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He didn't care at all before he was blocked in the palace, and he actually had the heart to eat and drink.
