Chapter 131 Coronation Ceremony

The first month was busy, and the day of the enthronement ceremony was getting closer and closer.

Although Emperor Wu Lie left all government affairs to Yan Donghuang, he still summoned officials from the inner court and the Ministry of Rites from time to time to supervise the preparation process for the enthronement ceremony.

As the time for the ceremony approaches, the inner court will give Yan Donghuang a try on the dragon robe today, and will give Yan Donghuang the imperial title to choose tomorrow. The faces of the princes in the court are getting more and more ugly, and they are gloomy all day long, as if they are gathering in the sky. Dark clouds are waiting for a heavy rain to pour down at any time.

On the second day of February, the procedures for the grand ceremony were ready. Emperor Wu Lie announced in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that he would be the crown prince, Yan Donghuang, and held the enthronement ceremony.

There were many imperial guards in the square, and civil and military officials in court uniforms stood in rows according to rank, all of them calm and solemn.

The atmosphere outside the palace is majestic and majestic.

The bells and drums rang three times.

The ceremony officer announced loudly: "In accordance with the emperor's will, the auspicious time has come, and the ceremony of passing the throne has officially begun!"

Yan Donghuang, who put on a dragon robe, entered Fengtian Gate and walked steadily along the red carpet step by step, followed by a mighty guard of honor.

All civil and military officials stood solemnly, solemnly and solemnly.

Emperor Wu Lie was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the vast array outside the palace, his facial features were cold and solemn, not angry but powerful.

Yan Zhang, Yan Ming and other princes were all dressed in solemn robes of princes and princes. They stood solemnly in the palace and looked out of the palace with expressionless faces, their eyes dark and gloomy.

Yan Donghuang walked to the front of the hall, climbed the steps, walked into the hall step by step, and bowed down.

Rong Chun took out the edict and read out: "The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun issued the edict:

The Crown Princess Donghuang has a noble character and a heart for the world. She is deeply in love with me. She will be able to inherit the great power, inherit the great responsibilities of the country and the country, and become the emperor of the Yong Dynasty. Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it. Admire this! "

After the words fell, all the princes and ministers in the palace, as well as the civil and military officials outside the palace, all knelt down: "Long live my emperor!"

Rong Chun walked down the palace steps lightly and respectfully presented the edict and jade seal to Yan Donghuang: "Your Majesty, please receive the jade seal."

Yan Donghuang took the edict and jade seal, stood up, and turned to face the civil and military officials.

Rong Chun took two steps back and knelt down respectfully.

The ceremony officials sang loudly: "All princes and hundreds of officials bow down to the new emperor, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times!"

The expressions of His Highnesses and the princes were gloomy, and they suppressed their unwillingness and knelt down facing Yan Donghuang.

The sound of hundreds of people shouting "Long Live Long Live" was shocking, resounding through the sky, and the echoes in the hall were endless.

When the three kneels and nine kowtows were over, Yan Donghuang raised his voice and spoke: "I owe my father's kindness today, and I feel ashamed of it. In the future, when I personally govern, I must work diligently, love the people, and have the country in mind——

"Report——" Suddenly there was an urgent call from far and near outside the palace, "Your Majesty! There is an urgent report at the border! Eight hundred miles urgent! Eight hundred miles urgent!"

Running all the way, shouting all the way.

The eight-hundred-mile journey from the border was urgent. It was related to the war, and no one dared to stop it.

Not even the Yulin Army or the Qingluan Army can.

There was a commotion in the square, and all the civil and military officials turned their heads to look.

The princes in the main hall stood up in surprise and turned their heads to look outside, feeling a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

It would be best if there is a war at the border, and then Yan Donghuang personally leads the troops to fight.

When she comes back, the throne may have changed hands.

Does she really dare to usurp the throne and seize power?

Yan Donghuang seemed unaware of the princes' expectations. He held the jade seal in one hand and the imperial edict in the other, looking calmly outside the palace.

The postman who carried the message from Eight Hundred Miles panted and ran up the stone steps, walked along the stone steps into the main hall, knelt down and kowtowed: "Report to the Emperor, an urgent message from Eight Hundred Miles has been sent from the southern border, and there are more troops in Nanling." 150,000, threatening the Yong Kingdom to hand over their treasonous prince, please make your decision!”

"Nanling is adding more troops?" Chen Wang Yanzhang was the first to exclaim, "Nanling and the Yong Dynasty have not fought for ten years, how can they suddenly increase their troops?"

"The treasonous prince?" Yan Ming looked surprised and looked at Emperor Wu Lie involuntarily, "What does Nanling mean? Is their treasonous prince in the Yong Kingdom?"

Yan Ling looked at the post soldier kneeling on the ground: "What exactly happened?"

The post soldier replied: "The commander of the additional troops in Nanling is their prince. The prince personally attacked and accused the eldest princess Qingluan of Yong State of colluding with the ninth prince of Nanling to treason with ulterior motives. He asked the eldest princess to immediately return their prince, otherwise it will be regarded as intentional provocation and interference. In other countries’ internal affairs, they will send troops to the Yong Dynasty to start a war.”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a cold wind blowing by.

The atmosphere in the main hall condensed, and it was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The six princes, Yan Zhang, Yan Ming, Yan Wei, Yan Ying, Yan Yu and Yan Ling, looked at each other, and then they looked up at Yan Donghuang in unison. Their expressions without exception changed from gloomy to gloating - hidden deep in their eyes. Gloating about everyone's misfortune.

Yan Zhang even raised the corners of his mouth.

This letter came at the right time, at the most critical moment of the coronation ceremony.

All the civil and military officials are there, including the princes.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason, colluding with foreign princes.

Even if Yan Donghuang had ten mouths, he still wouldn't be able to prove his innocence.

It's so good, it couldn't be better.

"Father." Yan Ming was the first to come to his senses, and looked up fiercely at Emperor Wu Lie in front of him, "The new emperor is involved in collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the impact of the matter is extremely bad. This matter must not be ignored, and I ask my father to look into it! "

Yan Zhang came to his senses and kowtowed: "I beg your father to see clearly and cancel today's throne transfer ceremony!"

Yan Wei, Yan Ying and Yan Yu were not willing to be outdone and kowtowed together: "Yan Donghuang collaborated with the enemy and treason. His crime is unpardonable. Please punish me according to the law!"

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense.

The princes seemed to have taken stimulant drugs and worked together like never before.

The ceremony officials standing on both sides looked frightened and at a loss as they watched this scene.

On one side was the new emperor who had just received the jade seal, and on the other side were several princes kneeling on the ground to impeach the eldest princess on charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

There was deathly silence in the square outside the main hall.

All civil and military officials, whether they supported Yan Donghuang or opposed Yan Donghuang, were watching in fear and waiting, waiting with bated breath.

Emperor Wu Lie sat on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly lowered, looking at the post soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with a tired look on their faces: "Who asked you to deliver the eight hundred miles urgent message?"

The postman replied: "Back to the emperor, it's King Wuyang."

"How many days have you been riding on horseback?"

"Return to the Emperor, Jiutian."

"There was no substitution halfway through?"

The postman kowtowed: "King Wuyang ordered me to deliver the urgent message to the imperial city in person, report it to the emperor in person, and explain the situation, so I only changed horses, not people."

"Where is King Wuyang now?"

"At the southern border."

"Has King Wuyang told you who the Prince of Nanling is?"

"Back to the emperor, King Wuyang said... yes..."

"It seems that King Wu Yang knows who he is." Emperor Wu Lie interrupted him, slowly raised his head, and looked around, "I also know who the prince that Prince Nanling is talking about is."

What?

All the princes raised their heads and looked at their father in disbelief.

Emperor Wu Lie sat on the dragon chair with a cold expression, full of the emperor's sense of oppression: "It is said that General Yaoguang of the Qingluan Army came to the palace."

Rong Chun was agitated and suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly turned around and shouted: "The Emperor has a decree. Send word to General Yaoguang of the Qingluan Army to come to the palace!"
