Chapter 2679 Fighting to the End
Officials from various houses are much busier than ordinary people in the capital. Many of them stayed up all night. After hearing the sound of drums, they immediately began to bathe and change clothes. They repeatedly checked whether their official uniforms and accessories were worn properly.
After confirming that everything is correct, I just wait and wait. I don't even dare to drink water, for fear that I will have to go to the toilet after drinking too much water. If I am really thirsty, I will dip some water in it and moisten my mouth to quench my thirst.
In the middle of the ugly hour, officials began to go out in cars and rush to the imperial city.
But it was useless for them to go early. After arriving at the imperial city, they were taken by the imperial guards to a place half a mile away from the imperial city gate and waited: "According to the official position, enter the imperial city in an orderly manner to participate in the ceremony!"
Only powerful people can go in first.
Qin Sanlang, General Cheng, and Mr. Feng were such characters. They arrived at Yincai, but as soon as they arrived, they were led into the imperial city and sat in the palace to wait.
At this time, the officials outside had just begun to check into the imperial city, and it was almost midnight before they finished checking all the people who came to watch the ceremony.
"The time is up, close the city gates!" General Yuan shouted.
Bang bang bang!
All three imperial city gates were closed, the Royal Forest Army entered the Imperial City, and the outside of the Imperial City was guarded by the Wei Family Army.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
At the exact moment of the hour, the cauldron bell rang in the imperial city. Wei Qi was wearing a black and red twelve crown emperor robes, holding a white jade plate to worship the sky. He was followed by six civil and military ministers on his left and right. With the reminder, the enthronement ceremony started step by step.
Since Ouyang Honggang was buried just a few days ago, Ouyang Zhang did not want to ruin the Wei family's celebration, so he did not come today. Instead, he asked the old master of Shangguan Ge to host the enthronement ceremony.
Wei Qi was about to win over Mr. Shangguange, so he persuaded Ouyang Zhang for a few words and then he was done.
The Wei family hated Zhong Huan very much. He was kicked out of the six civil and military ministers and generals and only watched the ceremony as an ordinary minister. But looking at Wei Qi who was so pressed by the emperor's crown robe that he could hardly lift his shoulders, Zhong Huan wanted to laugh... ...He really looks like a beggar even though he is wearing a dragon robe, and has no imperial domineering look at all.
Zhong Yu stood with the general, but he was a little worried about his eldest brother, so he would glance at him from time to time. After seeing his eyes staring at Wei Qi's back with a hint of teasing, he became extremely anxious and didn't know how to remind his eldest brother. Zhong Huan glared at me... What are you looking at, brat? Hurry up and stand up, be careful not to be caught, take a copy of your book!
When Zhong Yu saw him looking over, he was so happy that he risked his life and winked at him.
Zhong Huan nodded dissatisfied, indicating that he understood, and then continued to look forward, but there was no longer any ridicule, and he became solemn.
Seeing this, Zhong Yu withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the generals' team.
Although everything in the enthronement ceremony was simple, the entire ceremony still took a full three hours. After coming out of Chaosheng Palace, after walking half of the imperial city, we went to the Temple of Heaven in the middle of the imperial city. After spending an hour to inform the heaven, earth and the gods from all directions, we went down to the Temple of Heaven and entered the Wei family ancestral temple to worship the ancestors of the Wei family. He led all the officials into the Golden Palace and walked toward the dragon chair.
After Wei Qi sat down on the dragon chair, Mr. Shangguange read a congratulatory message according to the rules, and finally shouted: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and all the ministers bow to His Majesty!"
All civil and military officials knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed to Wei Qi: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, and may David live forever!"
When Wei Qi heard this, Long's heart was overjoyed, and his eyes filled with excitement. He straightened his back, raised his hands towards the ministers, pressed them down, and said: "All ministers are equal!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the ministers kowtowed again, they stood up.
Although Wei Qi was exhausted to death, he felt very happy when he looked at the ministers in the Jinluan Palace... No matter how talented you are, you will still kneel at my feet and become my slaves!
However, while he was enjoying himself, Mr. Feng reminded him: "Your Majesty, it's time to send the good news of the new emperor's enthronement to the world, so as to avoid trouble in the local area."
This is a big event, and Wei Qi also wanted all the people in the world to know the news of his ascension to the throne as soon as possible, so he immediately said: "Order the cavalry to deliver good news to all places, to tell all the people that the world has changed hands, and now is the first year of the founding of the David Dynasty!"
Wei Qi is Emperor David Kailong.
Just this year name, it must be very arrogant. It would be great if it can really prosper. If you die before it prospers, it will really make people laugh for thousands of years.
Therefore, when Wei Qi decided on the reign name, Zhong Huan did not say a word of objection.
Mr. Shangguange said respectfully: "I obey the order!"
The good news had been written long ago. After using the imperial seal for Wei Qi, General Yuan came in with hundreds of imperial guards to receive the good news. After arriving at the imperial city gate, he distributed it to the hundreds of cavalry who had been waiting here.
After receiving the good news, hundreds of cavalrymen immediately rode out of the capital and sent the good news to various places.
The good news in the capital was announced by nine small teams composed of the Royal Forest Army and officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of urgent drum music came out from the imperial city and shuttled through the streets and alleys in all directions of the city to announce the good news.
The official of the Ministry of Rites shouted: "Your Majesty has worshiped heaven and earth, ascended the throne as emperor, and now declares to all people in the world that this is the David Dynasty, and now we are the David Kailong Emperor!"
When the people in the capital heard this, they immediately opened their doors. The head of the house, wearing a red ribbon on his head, led the whole family to kneel down and shouted three times: "Long live your Majesty!"
After kneeling down and worshiping, he took out the money and food he had prepared and threw them on the street. The streets and alleys of the entire capital were crowded with people. It was truly a rare scene of people celebrating.
And the big guy is really happy: "Great, the world has finally settled down. We don't have to live in fear for fear that so and so will come to the capital again. We can continue to live a stable life!"
"Long live your Majesty, long live David!"
"Long live your Majesty, long live David!"
"Long live your Majesty, long live David!"
The big guys shouted happily, hoping that David would really live for ten thousand years, so that their descendants would no longer have to suffer the pain of the world being torn apart.
but……
While they were happy, everyone thought of Emperor Jingyuan... Although he had all kinds of bad things, he did a great deed before he died, saving everyone the suffering of a war.
Officials reported the grand scene on the streets of the capital to Wei Qi, and hundreds of painters sat in restaurants on the street, overlooking the celebrating people. They drove out ten paintings of "All the People Celebrate the Emperor's Enthronement" and sent them to the Jinluan Palace for Wei Qi. Qi watch.
After seeing this, Wei Qi was overjoyed. He wiped away his tears and said with sobs: "I didn't expect that I would be so popular among the people... I swear that I will be a good emperor and will not let down the love of the people for me."
Hey, hey, please wake up. The people will be happy not because you became the emperor, but because the world is stable and they will no longer experience the disaster of war.
However, you still have to say flattery.
Mr. Zuo immediately started crying and said, "Your Majesty is the one who carries the destiny. He will definitely be able to govern a prosperous era and let all the people in the world live a prosperous and healthy life. It is a blessing for me to follow your Majesty for three lifetimes."
He added: "I know that I am not as capable as Lord Zhong Huan and others, but I am willing to devote myself to your majesty even if I die. Please don't look down on me."
Tsk tsk, after saying this, Xu Chongfeng was almost resigned to being defeated.
However, Xu Chongfeng also cried, and he cried for himself... I didn't expect that he, a small county magistrate from a small county town, could survive from the crisis-ridden Chu Dynasty to the David Dynasty. Really, it's so fucking disrespectful Easy!
Thinking about the hardships, ups and downs and worries he had experienced along the way, Xu Chongfeng became excited and started to cry loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
