1067. Chapter 1067 The Throne Ceremony

Today is the day when a new monarch is appointed. The Queen Mother looks at the busy palace people and feels inexplicably irritable, as if something is about to happen. She is afraid that Mo Rongyi will disappear again like the previous few days. She will be in Cining Palace. Some couldn't sit still.

"Go to Qianqing Palace with Ai's family." The Queen Mother stood up. She wanted to keep an eye on the young prince herself and couldn't let this bastard be encouraged again.

Lu Shiming, that treacherous official, would not have sneaked away last time if their father and son hadn't encouraged A Yi behind her back. Today was an important day, and she absolutely couldn't let anything go wrong in A Yi's enthronement ceremony.

The Queen Mother hurriedly came to Qianqing Palace and saw Mo Rongyi changing the dragon robe. She calmed down and looked at him with comforting eyes, "Ayi has really grown up. Putting on this dragon robe makes her feel... The overwhelming momentum.”

When the palace people heard the Queen Mother's voice, they all bowed and saluted.

"Everyone, get up and get dressed quickly for the emperor." The Queen Mother said with satisfaction, urging Mo Rongyi, "The auspicious time is coming soon, so hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time."

Merongyi's face was not very good. He felt that wearing this dragon robe made his whole body uncomfortable. He just wanted to take it off quickly. He hoped that what Mr. Lu said was true. Will the emperor really come back today? I hope the emperor won't misunderstand him when he sees him like this. He really doesn't want to be an emperor at all.

"The Queen Mother, the auspicious time has come. The adults in the front hall are all waiting for...the emperor." The eunuch came over to send a message and glanced at Mo Rongyi, thinking that one day the real emperor would come back. The mother and son still don't know. Is there any way to survive?

"Okay, let's go." The Queen Mother looked at Murongyi with a smile.

Merongyi walked over slowly and whispered to the Queen Mother, "Mother, if you take this step, there will be no turning back for us. It's still too late for you to stop now."

The smile on the Queen Mother's face froze. She looked up at Mo Rongyi, who was already much taller than her. When she regarded this son as a child, he was already so tall. "Ayi, Aijia I said I wouldn’t regret it.”

Now that she decided to take this step, she had no intention of regretting it.

Mo Rongyi's eyes were a little sad, "Mother..."

"When you become the emperor and enjoy supreme rights, then you will understand that what the Ai family did today is for your own good." The Queen Mother said in a low voice.

"All you think about is rights..." If the Queen Mother had thought about the Emperor's brother at all, she would not have done such a thing.

Merongyi felt very sad for his eldest brother. For the first time, he felt unbearable guilt.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "Let's go, we should go to the main hall."

In the front hall, Qiu Yaozong, as the uncle of the state, led all the ministers and was already waiting for the arrival of Mo Rongyi. Mr. Xu stood in the front with half-squinted eyes. Behind him were several ministers of the cabinet. All civil and military officials stood silently. , the expression on everyone's face was extremely heavy.

They all knew that the Queen Mother had united with the young prince to usurp the throne. They originally thought that the emperor's confidants would definitely rise up to resist. However, after so many days, everything in Kyoto was calm. On the contrary, many of the officials who opposed it were imprisoned. They all felt drumming in their hearts, wondering if it was as the Queen Mother said, something had happened to the Emperor...

If nothing happened to the emperor, why was there no movement at all? Where are the people from the secret guard? Aren't the Imperial Guards and the city defenders the emperor's confidants? Could it be that he was bribed by the Queen Mother?

While everyone was thinking about it, the Queen Mother had already appeared on the phoenix throne above. Qiu Yaozong shouted loudly that the Queen Mother was a thousand years old. The others looked at each other and then knelt down to salute.

The Queen Mother glanced at everyone with satisfaction and said, "Everyone of your family is in peace."

The Minister of Rites began to sing, "The enthronement ceremony begins."

Merongyi stood there and didn't want to move. He turned back and looked at the palace gate. Why hasn't the emperor come yet? If he doesn't come again, he will complete the enthronement ceremony.

Mr. Lu clearly said that the emperor already knew everything about Kyoto. Now is a critical moment. Where is the emperor?

"Your Highness, please hurry up and invite me." The eunuch behind Mo reminded him anxiously.

"What's the hurry?" Mo Rongyi scolded him angrily and walked forward slowly.

Naturally, he was in no hurry. It was best to delay as long as possible, so that the emperor could catch up. Murong Yi walked step by step, looking back.

"The young prince!" The eunuch behind him was about to cry. If the young prince did not successfully ascend the throne today, he would definitely be executed.

Merongyi clenched his fists tightly, and his steps became heavier and heavier as he walked.

He couldn't listen to a word of the libretto of the Minister of Rites, and the closer he got to the main hall, the uglier his face became.

The eyes of the ministers fell on him, and Merongyi felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He had been taken care of by the imperial brother since he was a child. Without the imperial brother, he might have died long ago. Now he took advantage of the opportunity. To do such a thing when his imperial brother was in trouble, he was so ashamed that he no longer wanted to be a human being.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne." Qiu Yaozong reminded Mo Rongyi in a low voice.

Only then did Merongyi realize that the lyrics had ended, and now everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to sit on the throne.

"Ayi!" The Queen Mother looked at him sharply. At this time, she would not allow him to disobey her order.

"Mother, the emperor's brother will come back." Mo Rongyi raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, his eyes a little red.

The Queen Mother grasped the handle of the chair with both hands, and her voice was surprisingly gentle, "Ayi, your imperial brother has disappeared and has not returned. I only allow you to temporarily ascend the throne for the sake of the Kingdom of Jin. Don't be willful. You cannot be willful at this time."

Merongyi said, "Then go find Brother Huang! You will always find him."

"My Majesty, please don't lose your temper now. When you ascend the throne, you can send as many people as you want to look for him." Qiu Yaozong stepped forward and whispered.

None of the other ministers said anything. Mr. Xu still looked leisurely with his eyes half-closed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. They still saw the young prince correctly.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she would have been furious if she hadn't been in front of all the ministers.

"Ayi, stop making trouble and listen to the Queen Mother. When you ascend the throne, we will definitely go to your brother." The Queen Mother advised softly.

Merongyi sat down directly on the floor, "If there is no news from the emperor for a day, I will not have the shame to sit on that chair."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she fell back. She thought Ayi had already figured it out, but who knew that he would actually go against her at this time. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want to piss off the Ai family to death?"

"Mother, I don't want to make you angry, it's just...I can't do anything to disgrace my brother." Merongyi said in a low voice.

"You..." The Queen Mother's chest hurt, and she was so angry that a fishy sweetness came up in her throat.
