One Step to The End

On June 23, nearly two months have passed since the night of Emperor Jiwu’s death. The prince who suddenly slowed down, finally, under the urging of hundreds of civil and military officials, announced that he was enthroned as the emperor and at the same time awarded a reward. Ceremony.

"It's auspicious time! The salute is fired..."

With a shout from the eunuch, the gate of the Palace Square opened immediately. The sound of artillery and drums shook the sky. Thousands of officials and relatives of the emperor and relatives lined up into the square in two long lines. Everyone It is the most solemn court dress.

A high platform has been erected in front of the main hall, because during the national funeral, the festive red is not allowed to appear. Not only is the high platform covered with solemn black carpets, even the lanterns have turned blue, and the officials’ court clothes are all solemn. Mainly.

"Lord! Please..."

A large number of officials gathered Zhao Guanren in a black dragon robe and came to the front of the right side of the high platform. Naturally, the Yuan family headed by Hongluan was directly opposite, and all officials from the Yuan Family Party were also present.

The officials of the imperial party are also very clear. Under the leadership of the prince and the brothers of the first emperors, they all stood in front of the high platform. Stand on the far right side of the square.

"This prince is deliberately **** with us..."

Standing behind Zhao Guanren, Lu Datou said grumblingly: "You will be married in a few days. He chose to take the throne at this time. After the award, there is a lot of etiquette. The wedding will be postponed 100%. Maybe we get August again!"

"Master Zheng! Actually the wedding itself will be postponed..."

An old country man stood by and said: "The envoy of Anchang country encountered a flash flood and arrived in embarrassment the night before. The princess lost a lot of her dowry. Soldiers have rebelled!"

"What?"

Lu Datou said in surprise: "At this moment of rebellion, I think they don't want to surrender, and deliberately find things to delay time?"

"This time it wasn't them doing things, but the anti-thief I asked Shunguo to support. It really rebelled..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "There is a general named Bai Shayang in Thailand. He is not only powerful but also brainy. Later I released a female onmyoji. She revealed the secret of the heavenly king’s corruption. As a result, the heavenly king sent someone to chase her and she became angry. I rebelled with others!"

"Hey~"

Lv Datou smiled and said, "It's really unlucky mother to open the door to unlucky—unlucky got home! Just as the heavenly king was about to commit suicide to thank the world, a tyrannical counter-thief popped up immediately. Have they gotten into trouble now?"

"The old king has committed suicide, and his head is ready to be transported to Kyrgyzstan to make amends, so Bai Shayang suddenly launched an attack while the new king was desperate..."

Zhao Guanren said: "Bai Shayang was besieging the capital for more than half a month. I heard that the army was defeated. So the six princesses and princesses in Thailand may suddenly become refugees. Let me help their family!"

"Do the Thais survive by breaking their arms..."

Lu Datou pondered: "If the rebellion is successful, the previous account will be wiped out. As long as Bai Shayang **** the Thai royal family and sent it to the two countries for disposal, there is no reason for us to ask them for money, and to send the concubine. It can become a marriage!"

"Master Zheng is really insightful, we think so too..."

More than a dozen ministers nodded one after another, and one Shang Shu said: "The old king committed suicide. If we send a new king to let us kill, there will be no reason for the two countries to trouble them. Wife!"

"Ha~"

Zhao Guanren smiled disdainfully and said: "Whoever is in charge of the house, don't hit them with a big hemorrhage, I will give them the surname of Chiba!"

"Your Highness!"

The official secretary also said: "Almost all the important ministers and generals in Jiangbei were not present, and only adjutants were sent to take orders. Yuan Erye and Yuan Sanye were also sick in Jiangbei. Treat it!" "After waiting for two months, I finally stand in line..."

The officials all straightened up. Kyrgyzstan’s throne battle is just a family battle. The common people are watching it as a lively, but only people in the court know that this is a power reshuffle in Kyrgyzstan. Today is the true chapter. when.

Zhao Guanren must be the most evil force in the history of Kyrgyzstan. Now most of the Jiangnan nobles are supporting him, and the merchants are even more one-sided, not relying on fists or money, but having a mother-in-law standing behind him. Almost all of them are his father-in-law and elder brother.

"Master-in-law..."

Zhao Guanren turned around and folded his hands and smiled: "Let's not fight the country or stand in line, but only consolidate the country and enjoy the country. No matter who is the emperor, we must reuse us, so that our family can be eternally prosperous for generations to come!"

"Haha~ Hyun-in-law is right, we are all a family..."

The officials laughed heartily. The best way to integrate into a circle is naturally to become relatives of their family. Zhao Guanren is like a middleman, connecting them all together and making use of his own signboard to create a family business.

"The prince is here!"

The chief **** suddenly yelled, only to see the crown prince in a golden dragon robe, wearing a bead curtain crown, strode out of the palace, his left hand was the prince who was half a step later, and the couple were all dressed up. Yuxuan came to the high platform.

"Huh? The princess is happy..."

All the officials looked at the princess in surprise. Although the princess wore a wide phoenix robe, her abdomen was obviously bulging, and her thin face was also rounded a lot.

"Happy! It's been more than a month..."

The prince's maiden family was beaming, but the three elders looked weird and all subconsciously looked at Zhao Guanren.

Zhao Guanren picked his nose with some guilty conscience. He didn't intend to let the prince alive at the beginning, so naturally he did not take contraceptive measures. As a result, the prince was really good for life, and he actually got a big belly once.

Fortunately, the prince's sister was clever, and when she found out that her period had not come, she quickly used her aunt's cloth to disguise her, and then asked her to lure the prince into the same room once, and then counted the bill on the prince again.

"Burn incense! Sacrifice to the sky..."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites personally presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens. The monks were already ready by the incense table. After the prince knelt down with the prince and the concubine burning incense, the civil and military officials all knelt down, but during the national funeral, the ceremony was not so cumbersome.

"Long live the emperor! Long live..."

When the crown prince took over the canonization scroll, thousands of people called long live at the same time. At this moment, the crown prince officially became emperor, and the crown princess was also promoted to empress.

"Emperor Jiwu may not have thought of it until he died. His century-old dynasty has only been sitting for more than ten years..."

Zhao Guanren raised his head and looked at Emperor Yongji. Emperor Yongji didn't look so energetic, his whole person was much calmer than that of the prince, and then there was the canonization ceremony of the prince and the princess.

"Oh~ I haven't seen Yongning for a month, my belly is so big..."

Lu Datou raised his head in surprise, only to see Huang Taisun taking Yongning out of the hall. Xiao Yongning, who had been pregnant for nearly five months, had already become a young big belly woman, and her large robes could not cover her belly. , But she still followed a strange **** her right.

"Hmm~ The emperor is going to be a demon..."

Zhao Guanren sneered on one knee. The face of the emperor grandson was very ugly. After bringing the two girls to the center of the high platform, he first canonized the prince, and after the ceremony was the princess and the prince's side concubine. It is up to him to make the decision.

"Guan'er! You choose well, the princess will be your good help in the future..."

Emperor Yongji was already sitting in front of the main hall, staring at his son deeply. The queen sat beside him with a smile, but the maids immediately held out two trays. Only the top is a sachet.

"I obey your orders!" The prince wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. According to the rules of the Ji state's royal family, the prince who took the wish was the prince, and the sachet was rewarded to the concubine, but now is different from the past, and Zhao Guanren stared at him. Once Yongning becomes the prince, it will be difficult to abolish it.

"Crack~"

The prince tremblingly picked up Yu Ruyi, and walked to Yongning with a pale face. Emperor Yongji immediately coughed from the back. The prince's hand that had just stretched out suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously looked at the strange **** the other side. Looking at him expectantly.

"Useless things! Your own wife and children can't be protected. Wait for us to collect the corpses..."

Yongning jumped out a word from his teeth, only to see the prince's eyes suddenly fierce, and suddenly handed Ruyi with both hands to her, the emperor Yongji stood up in shock, and the princes in the audience also opened their eyes wide. , I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Thanks to the kindness of the prince, my concubine is not so lucky..."

Yongning actually slowly pushed Yu Ruyi back, and whispered: "You and I are married after all. I don't want to see you difficult to do, but you must remember it to me. You owe our mother and son a blood debt. In this life You have to come back if you are a cow or a horse!"

"Yongning! Thank you, I will repay it well..."

The prince was moved with tears streaming down his face and walked to the strange girl with a guilty face, and put Yu Ruyi into her arms casually, then held up the sachet with both hands, and handed it to Yongning with tears in his eyes.

"Papa......"

There was a warm applause from the audience. In fact, it was not only the emperor's family, but many ministers did not want Yongning to be the princess. In other words, they were all foreigners. Now Yongning has actively declined the princess, and the good reputation of the general knowledge can't escape. .

The next thing is today’s highlight. The Ye and Yuan family recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors. Hong Luan personally stepped forward and handed out a luxurious longevity card. The son is strong and longevity!

"Changsheng card? The ancestor of the Zhao family is still alive..."

The officials in the audience were in an uproar. Everyone thought that Zhao Ziqiang was dead and alive, who knew he was alive and kicking, but after the descendants of the Zhao family boasted, they knew that Zhao Ziqiang had gone to "become a fairy", and they had already ignored the mundane world.

"The descendants of the Zhao family! All kneel down, recognizing their ancestors and returning to the clan..."

Hongluan respectfully placed the tablet on the altar table. As Zhao Ziqiang's concubine, she stood alone on the high platform, while Yongji had already walked down with his wife and children, and stood in front of the high platform with the descendants of Yuan's family. , Seriously, kneel down three times and knock down nine times.

"Boom~"

Sudden!

The entire palace that was blown by a dry thunder shook three times. Everyone raised their heads in shock. Unexpectedly, the clear sky suddenly changed, and the lightning criss-crossed in the sky, and the gust of wind blew up for no reason. It dimmed.

"Oh! Five thunders hit the top, Hong Luan will come down soon..."

Zhao Guanren yelled in horror, but before Hong Luan could react, a thick lightning struck the top of the hall suddenly, blasting a big hole in the roof of the roof, and the wooden keel immediately ignited a fire. Everyone exclaimed again and again.

"All get down! Don't stand up..."

Zhao Guanren slammed Lu's head to the ground, and then heard a few crisp sounds of "Ka Ka Ka". Three lightning bolts fell on the palace in succession, smashing the glorious hall into a mess, and the last one was unexpectedly broken. Split on the high platform.

"Huh~"

The sky shook with a loud bang, and the lightning seemed to have grown eyes. It smashed the longevity card impartially. The longevity card suddenly turned into a mass of ashes, and the altar below was smashed to pieces.

"Wh, how could this be, who is casting spells..."

Head Lu held his head dumbfounded, all the 10,000 people in the square were dumbfounded, and Zhao Guanren said with a pale face: "It's not a spell! This is God's inability to tolerate Zhao Ziqiang. Recognizing the ancestor and returning to the ancestor is provoking God, let's The trouble... is big!"
