Chapter 205 Ascension to the Throne! Your Majesty Is Still as Elegant as Ever!

Li Chengliang left, taking with him nearly 500,000 imperial guards, as well as the firearms Qi Jiguang had specially sent him. Before leaving, Guo Bujing also helped to warn the imperial guards, fearing that they would not obey Li Chengliang.

With only a few of his personal soldiers dead, Li Chengliang's words carried less weight. If Guo Bujing hadn't done this, the army might have mutinied on the way.

As one of the few famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, although they only met briefly, Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang both showed a sense of mutual respect on their faces.

After bidding farewell to Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang took the remaining imperial guards to leave Beijing by boat. The situation in the south changed three times a day, and the demon tribe was across the sea in Japan. He had no time to attend Chu Yang's coronation ceremony two days later.

It was a very risky move to personally escort Wanminsan to Beijing.

Qi Jiguang felt deeply regretful about this.

After this quick meeting, Chu Yang left a very good impression on Qi Jiguang. Apart from his extraordinary martial arts, the future emperor was more friendly than he had imagined, and his conversation was humorous and witty.

And those complicated drawings...

Qi Jiguang was very excited.

Although he could only understand part of it, he could already feel the changes these drawings brought to the firearms camp. He believed that the next time they met the demon tribe on the battlefield, the Qi family army would never be trapped in Wanglong City again.

The tower ship left the port and went farther and farther on the sea. Chu Yang and others stood on the shore and looked at each other from afar.

When the shadow of the tower ship could no longer be seen, Zhuge Zhengwo, Zheng Dongliu and others walked to Chu Yang's side.

Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his beard and smiled, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty thinks so highly of General Qi."

"How many military generals are there these days who serve the country and the people?" Chu Yang sighed, "With his achievements, he could have made further progress, why is he still a general?"

Zheng Dongliu regretted, "The late emperor did not allow it, fearing that the military generals would become self-reliant, but it's not his fault that he thought too much. Your Majesty also knows the situation in the south. To put it another way, if Qi Jiguang had a little ambition in his heart, the situation we face would only be more severe."

The late emperor mentioned by Zheng Dongliu was not Chu Yang's cheap father, but his brother who died unjustly.

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "This is a different time. The Qi family army has been fighting against the demons and Japanese pirates for the Ming Dynasty for many years. If they cannot be rewarded according to their merits, how can the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front line be convinced?"

"In the final analysis, it's still someone's magnanimity. He is always afraid that others will rob him of his things."

After saying this, Zheng Dongliu didn't dare to continue. As a minister, how could he say something nonsense like Chu Yang.

Zhuge Zhengwo coughed lightly.

"Last night, I discussed the current situation with you all."

"We think that the whole world will be peaceful for a while..."

"The demons went to the northern border by water, and did not harass any coastal towns of the Ming Dynasty along the way, proving that they are still afraid of your majesty's military power. There should be no more than two demon kings going to the northern border this time."

"With the ability of the Jiannu, they should be able to deal with the demons for a long time, enough for Li Chengliang to complete the deployment of the border."

"With the firearms given by the Qi family army, your majesty does not need to worry about the northern border for the time being."

"It is the quietness of Mongolia that makes this old minister a little worried."

Chu Yang couldn't help showing a bit of surprise. Since he appeared in this world, he has never heard of Mongolia. He thought there were no Tatars and Wala in this world.

Zheng Dongliu glanced at Chu Yang's expression and smiled: "It's not surprising that your majesty doesn't know the situation in Mongolia. In fact, since the late emperor ascended the throne, they have been in a long-term civil strife. The tribes, big and small, are fighting each other. How can they have time to have conflicts with us?"

"Don't say your majesty, even I haven't heard of Mongolia for 10 or 20 years."

Chu Yang curled his lips.

We still can't look at this messy martial arts world from a normal historical perspective. Mongolia didn't even have a chance to appear.

Zhuge Zhengwo said: "Your majesty sent the imperial army to reinforce the north and south, but you should still prepare for a rainy day. Mongolia can't be ignored."

Chu Yang said: "Take it one step at a time. Let's deal with the affairs in the south first. Let Hulong Villa go to find out information about Mongolia."

"And find out where the Wan Yao Kingdom is as soon as possible. I want to know why the demons want to invade Japan. What happened there?"

Speaking of the Wan Yao Kingdom, Zheng Dongliu and Zhuge Zhengwo looked worried. The source of this chaos must have an amazing secret.

Two days later.

The capital city suddenly became lively after the previous dead silence.

Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne.

…

"Hehe, Lu Xiaoji, you are wearing really red clothes today. People who don't know would think you are getting married!"

Sikong Zhaixing mocked Lu Xiaofeng's dress with ill intentions.

"Monkey, don't be complacent. If you lose the bet next time, see how I will deal with you!"

Lu Xiaofeng's face was livid. He originally wanted to take advantage of his friend's auspicious day of ascending the throne to have some fun, but he didn't expect to lose so embarrassingly.

"What a pity, what a pity, I didn't see Brother Lu get married in person."

Hua Manlou said "what a pity" twice, teasing Lu Xiaofeng with a smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter if you can't see me get married, it's enough to hear others pay homage to His Majesty." Lu Xiaofeng smiled while stroking his beard.

As one of Chu Yang's few friends, Lu Xiaofeng felt that Hua Manlou should come to the capital to congratulate Chu Yang in person, so he wrote a letter and invited him to the capital.

Hua Manlou did not expect that the world would change so much in such a short period of time. The owner was quietly changed, and the news of the emperor's death had just reached Jiangnan.

But before that, he had a strong premonition that Chu Yang would become emperor in the future, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

When they arrived in the capital, Lu Xiaofeng narrated what happened before, making Hua Manlou regretful that she didn't come to see the duel at the top of the Forbidden City.

"It feels like a world away." Hua Manlou said with emotion: "When we first met His Majesty, we didn't even know he was a prince. Even now, I don't think his words and deeds are like a prince."

"What he does in the future should not be like the emperor that the world understands."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"What you said is really good. His Majesty announced a big event just after he ascended the throne today."

Li Gexiao appeared in front of several people with a strange expression.

"Where did the news spread so quickly?" Lu Xiaofeng looked curious.

Li Ge smiled and sighed: "My master said that he just came out of the palace and looked very angry."

Sikong Zhaixing asked impatiently: "What is going on?"

Li Gexiao said in a dumbfounded voice: "Your Majesty said he would never go to the morning court again from today on. He said he was so angry that he couldn't get out of bed in the morning, so he asked the ministers to go home and sleep."

Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing's eyes suddenly widened, while Hua Manlou froze in place with a stunned expression.

Isn’t this familiar style still the wise king?

………………………

The funeral of the late emperor was kept simple, and the new emperor's ascension to the throne was still kept simple.

Even the process of offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and clans, and announcing that one is ordained by heaven and ancestors has been hacked.

In the end, Chu Yang just sat in the main hall wearing a dragon robe and accepted the congratulations of the officials, and then everyone played music and danced together, and it ended hastily.

The new chief minister of the cabinet, Xu Jie, reminded Chu Yang to remember the amnesty, but was scolded by Chu Yang.

"Pardon for what?!"

"Behead those who deserve to be beheaded, and let them celebrate the New Year!"

"The world is amnesty at every turn. Do you know how hard front-line law enforcement officers work every day?"

"All the achievements you have worked hard for over the past year will be pardoned by the world!"

“Isn’t it irresponsible to the people to release those criminals who deserve to be beheaded into society?”

"Forgive me with a hammer!"

The new emperor's temper was a bit irritable, and he would slander anyone he caught. Xu Ge, the elder, had finally risen to the position due to his age, and was almost scolded for having a myocardial infarction, so he retreated to his position with a livid face.

Seeing that the new chief minister of the cabinet was frustrated, other civil servants did not dare to speak. At this moment, they missed the late emperor. Although they did nothing, at least they did not curse...

Zhuge Zhengwo stood up at this time and talked to Chu Yang pleasantly for a long time. In the end, the two of them took a step back.

Some prisoners with relatively minor crimes and relatively minor crimes can be pardoned, but death row prisoners do not have this treatment. Those who are about to serve their sentence must be beheaded immediately. This is not negotiable!

The first and last morning dynasty of the new emperor's ascension to the throne ended hastily in the helplessness of the ministers.

Royal study room.

Chu Yang always felt awkward sitting on that chair, so he asked Cao Zhengchun to withdraw, and he and others gathered around the incense burner in the center of the room. The scene was quite strange.

He didn't care, even if others were standing or kneeling, he felt very uncomfortable.

In addition to Zhuge Zhengwo and others, there were also Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui in the room. Zhang Juzheng was now the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, and Hai Rui was the newly appointed Minister of Justice.

"Master Guo intends to return the six doors to the control of the Ministry of Justice. I wonder what Master Hai wants?"

Chu Yang glanced at the distraught Guo Bujing.

"inappropriate."

Hai Rui shook his head slowly. At other times, it would have been a good thing for the Six Gates to return to the Ministry of Justice, but not now. The security situation in the Central Plains and other places has been declining in recent times.

Most of the prisoners are demons and evil warriors, and this is when the six gates come into play.

"Did you hear that? If people don't want your six doors, don't go around thinking about giving them away every day."

Chu Yang patted Guo Bujing on the shoulder. The former Guo Juxia had been a little depressed recently, and he was now obsessed with "Tatami" with the demon clan.

Once again, his hope failed, Guo Bujing sighed, his face full of sorrow.

Zheng Dongliu said softly: "Master Guo, why are you doing this? The death of the late emperor is not your fault, so you don't need to be so concerned."

Guo Bujing remained silent.

It was difficult for Chu Yang to persuade him. After all, a person's three views would not change just because of a few words from others, especially a person with a firm heart like Guo Bujing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhuge Zheng and I changed the subject and said, "Yesterday when I was combing through the secret cells of Hulong Villa, I discovered a strange man. He was the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong who defeated the eight major sects in the past. ”

Yuhuatian reminded: "Shenhou, His Majesty said that Gu Santong was framed by Zhu Wuli."

Zhuge Zhengwo chuckled and said: "Because of this, after Gu Santong learned that your Majesty defeated Zhu Wuwu, he clamored to see your Majesty, hoping to repay His Majesty's kindness."

"Repay the favor?" Chu Yang raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "I guess he wanted to trick me into teasing me. Playing tricks on an emperor gives him a greater sense of accomplishment than any of his previous targets."

Zhuge Zhengwo nodded repeatedly, "I thought so too, so I ignored him."

Cao Zhengchun whispered in Chu Yang's ear: "Your Majesty, you have ascended the throne, you should call yourself me..."

Chu Yang rolled his eyes and said, "I don't even attend the morning court, so what's the point of calling myself the emperor?"

Cao Zhengchun retreated to the side in a sullen manner.

But thinking of Gu Santong. Chu Yang suddenly became interested in him and wanted to meet this undefeated boy in the teleportation, and even more wanted to see the indestructible magic of the Vajra.

"Since he wants to play a trick on me so much, I'll go over and let him play a trick on me."

Chu Yang grinned and walked out.

The smile on Zhuge Zhengwo's face froze. He had just said it to lighten the mood, but he didn't expect Chu Yang to really go to see Gu Santong.

Chu Yang felt annoyed by the pomp of the emperor's trip, so he asked Cao Zhengchun to bring a few horses, and rode to Hulong Villa with Zhuge Zhengwo and others.

He walked out of the palace wearing a dragon robe, and the streets immediately became lively.

As the most famous person in the capital over the past twenty years, the people recognized him at a glance, but now, no one dared to tease this number one playboy in the capital.

Many people were even panic-stricken, thinking of their previous disrespect to the new emperor. If it were now, it would not be too much to kill all the nine clans.

The excitement did not last long, and everyone became silent. Chu Yang saw the expressions of the people and felt mixed emotions. This was not the scene he wanted to see.

As an emperor, he must maintain his dignity. Some of his dignity is rooted in the people's fear of him, but some of his dignity comes from completely different emotions.

Chu Yang remembered the umbrella of the people that Qi Jiguang brought him.

The umbrella carries the most sincere respect and love of the people of Jinling City. The dignity based on that emotion may be more meaningful.

Unconsciously, Chu Yang rode past the brothel he used to go to frequently. Heads of all sizes appeared beside the windows and railings, peeking at him evasively.

They are all familiar faces!

Chu Yang showed a sly smile in his eyes, and suddenly straightened his back and whistled in the direction of the brothel. The sound echoed in the quiet street.

The people on the roadside showed disbelief.

Zheng Dongliu and others who followed Chu Yang were also stunned. They really didn't expect that Chu Yang, who was already sitting on the throne, would make such a frivolous move!

After a while.

A huge noise broke out on the street!

Some people laughed!

Some people shouted!

Some people made a noise!

Some people imitated Chu Yang to whistle.

Soon, the whole street was filled with whistling.

More people came out of their houses to watch the noise!

There was also a fierce response from the brothel!

"Your Majesty is still as charming as ever!"

"Good job, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget me..."

Listening to the people's cheers, Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and laughed, turned to look at Zheng Dongliu, "Our Majesty has a very special charm."

Zheng Dongliu nodded and smiled: "He is not an ordinary person, and he should not be viewed with common sense."

"I am really looking forward to it now. I want to see what the Ming Dynasty will be like in the hands of Your Majesty, hahaha." (End of this chapter)
