Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 414 Enthronement Ceremony (End)
In May outside the customs, the spring is long overdue, and the earth is enthusiastically covered with greenery and fragrant.

Under the blue sky, the road leading to Shengjing was covered with colorful flower petals, and the people lined up to welcome the new emperor Xiao Zhuo's convoy, which stretched for tens of miles from the city gate of Shengjing.

Shen Yuexi was tired of waving, she put down the curtains, and stopped looking at the crowds on both sides.However, the deafening cheers could still be heard, and the people were paying tribute to Xiao Zhuo who was riding a dragon chariot at the front of the convoy.

She was supposed to ride the Dragon Chariot with Xiao Zhuo, but considering that the noisy environment might not be suitable for the fetus, she was still willing to stay in the relatively quiet carriage.As for enjoying the people's welcome, Xiao Zhuo has been doing this since he was a child, let him face the people's enthusiasm.

After returning from Guiyun Island, the only request she made to Xiao Zhuo was to change the capital city of Dayan to Shengjing, and let Xiao Zhuo formally ascend the throne there.

The reason why she made this request was not only because she built this majestic city with her own hands, but also because the city was connected to Xirong in the north and Chengmei's in the west.

Xiao Zhuo, the acting emperor, considered that the officials' homes were all in the capital, and if he moved the capital hastily, it would not only mobilize the troops, but also waste the people and money, so he was a little hesitant.Unexpectedly, a servant leaked the news, the prime minister judged that the acting emperor would eventually obey the queen, and immediately moved.The expansion of the outer city of Shengjing had just been completed, and the craftsmen continued to build the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.The prime minister's mansion had just finished laying the foundation, and officials from the six ministries also came to choose the site...

When Xiao Zhuo asked the officials for suggestions on moving the capital in the court hall, he found out that all the officials were renting houses. He couldn't laugh or cry, so he agreed to everyone.

Even though tens of thousands of craftsmen were busy at the same time, it took four months to move the capital.The inner city of Shengjing was transformed into an imperial city. First, a palace was built for the enthronement ceremony, and countless new houses and street shops were erected in the outer city, ready to welcome the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Shen Yuexi was not idle during the period, and together with Xiao Zhuo summoned Xirong King Qianglin and Marshal Beidi.Both of these two have a deep hatred for Pei Jingyun and Xiao Beiheng's mother and son.

Shen Yuexi and the others understand it with reason and move it with emotion.Pei Jingyun did do a lot of wrong things, but she is Xiao Zhuo's mother after all, it is unlawful to kill a mother with a son, and Xiao Zhuo has sentenced their family to be exiled to Yundao as punishment.

Exile thousands of miles away has been a severe punishment since ancient times.Marshal Qianglin and Beidi didn't want to do it. They wrote an edict on the spot, vowing to live in peace with Dayan.But public affairs belong to public affairs, private interests belong to private interests, the two of them are going to find Pei Jingyun and Xiao Beiheng on the island to settle their personal grievances.

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo didn't stop Qiang Lin and Generalissimo Beidi, all that should be said has been said, everyone has to bear the consequences for what they do, this is not something they can interfere.

After Qiang Lin and Generalissimo Beidi were allowed to leave, both Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo were worried. If the prime minister and other officials hadn't been urging Xiao Zhuo to ascend the throne, they would have waited.

"I hope mother and younger brother are well." Shen Yuexi closed her eyes and murmured.

She had just finished muttering, when she heard a low laugh from inside the car, she quickly opened her eyes, and saw Long appearing out of nowhere, dressed in a maid's clothes, sitting across from her with a smile and looking at her.

"You are so elusive, you will scare people." Shen Yuexi gently touched her belly, "Fortunately, I have a stable mind."

Hazy smiled and bowed to salute: "I have met the empress. Let me get straight to the point and talk about the business. Those two foreigners went to the island to find their masters. Guess what happened?"

Shen Yuexi saw the joyful expression on his face, so he guessed that Qiang Lin and Generalissimo Beidi should not have done anything excessive during this trip, and he was relieved a lot in his heart, saying: "Seeing that you are so happy, you should be fine, right?"

"Wrong," Lu said with a smile on his face, "Young Master was hit by two arrows."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, and said, "Is it so serious? Then..."

He showed a sly smile again and interrupted her: "Empress, today is the enthronement ceremony of the emperor. I won't scare you anymore. Marshal Beidi wants to shoot the young master with an arrow to avenge his son. The young master said that I killed your son. I should have taken the arrow and stood there for him to shoot. Marshal Beidi shot the young master on the shoulder, put down his bow and said that the grievances are settled."

Speaking of this, Wu curled her lips and said: "To be honest, these two foreigners have never been on a boat in their entire lives, and they vomited like hell. It is easier for us to kill them than chickens, but the master said that this mistake was indeed made by her. Second, if they were killed, Xirong and Beidi would definitely rebel. She doesn't want to cause war again."

"Didn't my younger brother catch two arrows?" Shen Yuexi was eager to know what to say next, "The other arrow was shot by Qiang Lin?"

He said vaguely: "That's right. The master originally asked that Qiang Lin to do it, but the young master said that any faults of the mother would be borne by him, the son, and stand in front of the master..."

Shen Yuexi nodded and said in admiration: "My brother is really good, he is a responsible man."

From what she heard from Hao, she felt that Xiao Beiheng was really not the former him.The previous Xiao Beiheng was extremely selfish, he would sacrifice anyone for his own goals.Now he also begins to know how to care about others.

"That Qiang forest shot an arrow in the young master's thigh, saying that they were going back to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and then left," Lu touched his chest and said, "It scared us to death at that time. The young master stood there to meet the arrows, if those two shot the vital points, the young master would be dead, it's okay."

Shen Yuexi has seen Qiang Lin's arrow technique before, and knows that he has no reason to shoot sideways.From this point of view, Qiang Lin and Generalissimo Beidi may have been moved by Xiao Beiheng's courage to take responsibility, or by his filial piety in protecting his mother, but they let him go anyway.

If Qiang Lin or Generalissimo Beidi really killed Pei Jingyun or Xiao Beiheng, with Xiao Zhuo's personality, it was absolutely impossible to let them go.When Xiao Ming forced Emperor Yongde to death, Xiao Zhuo knew that he was not the son of Emperor Yongde, so he sent troops to avenge his adoptive father. How could it be possible that he didn't care about his mother's death, and he had to send troops to avenge. In the end, it was the people of all ethnic groups who suffered.

You kill me and I kill you, the enmity will naturally become deeper and deeper, and finally become sworn enemies, Dayan and Xirong are like this.Since she rescued five thousand soldiers, the Xirong people gradually began to reconcile with Dayan.At that time, some people criticized, saying that it was unnecessary to save those soldiers.Such people may have difficulty understanding the meaning of forgiveness.

From Shen Yuexi's point of view, no matter whether Pei Jingyun, Xiao Beiheng, or Qiang Lin, Generalissimo of Beidi, they all made the right choice.The personal grievances between the two parties will end here, and innocent people will not be brought into the flames of war.

When she thought of this, the haze in her heart was swept away, and she said to Lu: "How is your brother's injury?"

"Dr. Hua is here, so these two arrows are quite a coincidence," Lu said reluctantly, "I think they should have done it on purpose...they didn't hurt any vital parts, and it will heal after a while."

Shen Yuexi suddenly became happy, and asked, "What about the mother, where about the younger siblings?"

"Master, I hold that jade pendant every day, or talk to that big parrot. The young lady is the happiest. She said that she is going to make a boat that can walk underwater, and she is very busy every day." Lu smiled and said, "The emperor's move is really good. Originally, the master also likes to live on Guiyun Island."

Shen Yuexi became even happier after hearing this.

Xiao Zhuo exiled Pei Jingyun and Xiao Beiheng to an island thousands of miles away, comforted all the ministers, and did not let his mother suffer.Su Mo was not among them, but she insisted on being with Xiao Beiheng. This result couldn't be more appropriate.

She wanted to ask more, but when she looked up, she found that Oboro had disappeared without a trace.

"The empress, the empress," Xia Lan opened the car door and got in, "It's a happy event, girl from Xiliang... Hey, are you looking around for someone?"

Shen Yuexi withdrew her gaze and said, "It's nothing, what happy event did you say, is it about Sister Mei?"

"That's right, the Queen of Xiliang and your sister will also come to attend the enthronement ceremony."

Shen Yuexi said pleasantly: "Really, isn't Sister Mei setting up a competition in Xiliang to recruit relatives? Has she already found a suitable husband?"

After returning from Guiyun Island, Mei Dai and Shen Lan immediately rushed back to the four counties of Xiliang.After leaving for only a month, the government affairs of the four counties in Xiliang were in chaos. Fortunately, Mei Dai came back in time and finally stabilized the situation.

Mei Dai wanted to continue the incense of the Mei family, so she set up a competition to recruit relatives for a period of one year.It's only been four months since she didn't have time to come here, so Shen Yuexi can understand.

Xia Lan said: "What's the matter, the queen has set up four levels of Wen Xin Wu Po. They examine articles, character, martial arts, and strategy respectively. Most of the applicants can't even pass one of the tests. But I believe that a beautiful and outstanding woman like the Queen will find someone she likes sooner or later."

Knowing that the two older sisters were coming, Shen Yuexi was already in high spirits, and said to Xia Lan: "Open the door, I'll tell His Majesty about these happy events."

As soon as she got up, there was pain in her abdomen, Shen Yuexi groaned, and sat down again holding her stomach.Xia Lan was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Empress Empress, don't move around anymore."

Shen Yuexi covered her stomach, frowned and said, "The pain was severe, could it be that the noise outside made him unhappy?"

Xia Lan didn't understand either, so she could only vaguely say: "It must be so, if the empress is not feeling well, why don't you participate in the enthronement ceremony?"

"Why don't you go?" Shen Yuexi gritted her teeth and stood up slowly. "My husband's enthronement is a very important day. How can my wife not be there. So many people may not be delayed because of me alone. Why don't you just hold on to the three ceremonies? Hold on, it won't take long anyway."

Xiao Zhuo's ascension to the throne was the death of the old emperor and the new emperor ascended the throne, so the ceremony was simple, without singing and dancing, drum music, and giving banquets, and only the most basic three ceremonies were retained.She felt it should be soon.Although it was time to give birth according to the day, she planned to keep going until Xiao Zhuo ascended the throne.

The first ceremony was to follow Xiao Zhuo to pay homage to the Heaven and Earth Zongshe. It only took an hour, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.

The second ceremony is that Xiao Zhuo wears a gown and sits on the imperial palace, accepts congratulations and salutes from civil and military officials, and establishes the distinction between monarch and minister.As the queen, Shen Yuexi sat next to the throne to watch the ceremony.

She saw civil servants headed by the prime minister, military generals headed by General Zhao Mu, and officials of the seventh rank and above in various states and counties.The generals of Xiliang led by Mei Dai and Shen Lan, the king of Xirong Qiang Lin, the special envoy of Marshal Beidi... Wu Yangyang stood all the way to the steps outside the main hall, there must be hundreds of people.

Seeing so many people, she was dazzled, and with nervousness, her lower abdomen hurt even more.

The Prime Minister spoke first.He prepared a long poem to praise Xiao Zhuo, which was said to have been written by the top scholars in the Hanlin Academy in half a month.

The entire Fu is extremely gorgeous, and just describing Xiao Zhuo's appearance fills up eight pages, and it's just the beginning.Next, he introduced Xiao Zhuo's achievements, starting from the time he was wronged and endured humiliation, he read a full six thousand words before reaching Daliang Village.

Shen Yuexi was dizzy from hearing it, and it was really painful to maintain her demeanor in front of everyone and endure the pain in her stomach.

She is suffering here.The prime minister didn't know, shaking his head, chanting loudly in the hall with passion, accidentally, the folded memorial in his hand fell to the ground, and it was pulled out for six or seven meters, densely packed with words.

Shen Yuexi couldn't bear it anymore, hugged her stomach and cried.

There was a sudden chaos in the court, and a courtier who understood said to Xiao Zhuo quickly: "Your Majesty, the Empress is in severe labor pains, and I am afraid she is about to give birth."

Xiao Zhuo didn't care about the ceremony anymore, he hurriedly helped Shen Yuexi to go back, Mei Dai, Shen Lan and other women followed.

After lying on the bed, Shen Yuexi cried and wiped her tears: "It can't be done, take the child out quickly, it hurts to death."

Xiao Zhuo heard Shen Yuexi's shout outside the door, and was so anxious that he couldn't do anything. He said to the attendant: "Where is the imperial doctor, why hasn't he come?"

"What about the midwife, why don't you come soon?"

"Your Majesty, today is your enthronement ceremony. The midwife has blood on her hands. According to the custom since ancient times, she has to stay in the outer city..."

"It's just nonsense, hurry up and ask."

Xiao Zhuo was in a hurry outside the house, and the house was even more chaotic. Shen Yuexi cried and held Mei Dai's hand and said: "Sister Mei, you know everything, help me quickly...it hurts too much."

Mei Dai held her hand, blushing and said: "Sister, my sister has never learned this... and I don't know how to make a child born. You... you hold my hand, just use your strength."

"How hard are you? Elder sister, you should explain clearly..."

On the other side of the room, Shen Lan hurriedly told Xia Lan: "What are you waiting for, prepare hot water, hurry up and prepare hot water."

"How hot will it be?"

"That's right." Shen Lan scratched her head with no experience, "It doesn't matter, anyway, bring whatever is hotter or warmer."

Xia Lan and a group of maids hurriedly prepared hot water, carrying more than a dozen pots in and out.Xiao Zhuo stood on tiptoe outside the door and looked through the crack of the door.After only two glances, Mei Dai cried out in panic: "Oh, it's bleeding, what should I do?"

Xiao Zhuo was taken aback, but according to the rules, women in ancient times were not allowed to enter the room after giving birth to a man, even if he was the emperor, he had to abide by it.

When she was in a panic, a woman wearing a hood and a gauze covering her face came quickly with her head down. After saluting Xiao Zhuo hastily, she entered the room.

Xiao Zhuo heard the woman whisper a few words in the room, Shen Yuexi's crying gradually became quieter.

Everyone waited outside the house in fear for an unknown amount of time, when a cry of a baby came from inside the house, and Mei Dai and Shen Lan shouted in surprise at the same time: "Sister, it's a boy."

Everyone outside the house knelt down and saluted Xiao Zhuo: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of a dragon son."

Xiao Zhuo was overjoyed, he waited for everyone to tidy up, he quickly entered the house and went to Shen Yuexi's bedside.Seeing Shen Yuexi's pale face and a crying baby lying beside her, she couldn't help crying with joy, first took a closer look at the baby, then sat on the side of the bed and gently held Shen Yuexi's hand and called: "Yuexi."

Shen Yuexi slightly opened her eyes, and said to him: "I finally gave birth, and almost took half my life. Your Majesty must thank mother very much."

Xiao Zhuo was taken aback, and said: "Mother?"

"I thought you knew, but you didn't even look at it." Shen Yuexi patted the back of his hand, "The midwife who just came is my mother. She is afraid of being known. If she didn't show her face, you wouldn't be able to recognize her."

Xiao Zhuo was surprised and delighted, wanted to get up and chase after him, but couldn't bear Shen Yuexi's side, his face struggled.Shen Yuexi saw it, and said with a smile: "I'm fine here, Your Majesty, hurry up and chase after mother, the family will be reunited after all."

Xiao Zhuo nodded heavily, got up and rushed out.

Shen Yuexi saw Xiao Zhuo coming out of the door, put her hand on the baby's back and patted it gently, showing a satisfied smile.

The mother left immediately after delivering the baby, without having time to take a closer look at the baby.There are still a few months before the next Mid-Autumn Festival, and she believes that Xiao Zhuo will take care of everything.She wants to let her mother take a good look at the baby on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and let her younger brothers and sisters take a look at the baby.

This wish will surely come true.
