Chapter 3

The next day, the enthronement ceremony.

The enthronement ceremony of a big man usually takes about a month.

But according to the current situation, if you really wait for a month, no one knows which will come first, the subjugated country or the new emperor, so the courtiers are extremely urgent.

Civil servants wear Jinxian crowns, soap robes, and belts around their waists, and line up on the east side.

The generals wear a hewn crown, a crimson robe, a belt around their waist, and a sword on their left, lining up on the west side.

Some people want to use this to stabilize the situation and continue the Dahan for another 300 years;
Some people want to get promoted and get rich, so they can surrender and run away in the future so that they can get promoted;
There are also people who are pure bastards, living day by day.

Each has its own ideas, but the most important thing is Xindi.

"Sparse the dragon's head to resist the hall, and the towering shape is precarious"

Yang Zhong, a veteran of the Five Dynasties, stood at the head of the civil servants, murmured a few words, and his cloudy eyes faded a bit.

This Fu is about Weiyang Palace, the main hall of Weiyang Palace is divided into front, middle and back halls, and the middle hall is the main hall.

The new emperor's enthronement, important court meetings, royal weddings and funerals and other ceremonies are all held in the main hall.

Yang Zhong has experienced the new emperor ascending the throne four times, but the last time he saw the lights of Weiyang Palace was 20 years ago.

The palace in Qiongzhou City was still temporarily arranged by the expropriation government. Occasionally, there were a few pieces of broken bricks and tiles that had not been hidden, which looked like the swaying mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty.

"Invite the new emperor to ascend the palace!"

Liu Ke sat at the top and looked from top to bottom, and he could see all the officials in the palace at a glance.

But the officials from bottom to top could not see the emperor's face clearly, they could only see the broad forehead and high eyebrows, the high bridge of the nose, and the eyes like deep pools, which seemed to be introverted.

Although young, he behaved extremely calm and mature at this time.

It's just that his behavior was slightly out of line with the emperor's etiquette, and the sharp-eyed officials could still see that the little emperor seemed to be sitting uncomfortable, and quietly straightened the bird.

Many people shook their heads again and again. After all, they grew up among the people and had little royal education.

But who let those who are more educated hiccup?

Hearing that the little emperor stayed alone in the hall all night after summoning Yu Wenbai yesterday, he was probably frightened too.

Yu Wenbai, the leader of the generals, suddenly came out with a voice like a bell:
"I congratulate Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

The officials also sang praises.

Shouted and shouted, but felt that something was wrong.

This is not etiquette!

Because of the tense situation, the enthronement ceremony has been streamlined a lot, but it is impossible to omit the part of paying homage to the ancestors, so why skip directly to Long Live the Emperor?

Yang Zhong was taken aback, last night he finished writing the strategy book, everything was ready, and he was about to come out to invite the new emperor to offer sacrifices to the Gaozu Temple, did not expect Yu Wenbai to be so ignorant of etiquette?
According to etiquette, the one who presided over the grand ceremony was Taichang who was in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple. After Taichang died in the battle last year, there was no one to make up for it, so that he remained vacant.

Most of the courtiers have a consensus that it must be handed over to Yang Zhong, the most prestigious veteran of the Five Dynasties who has served as Taichang and the assistant minister.

Yu Wenbai is also the auxiliary minister, but the difference in working age is too much, so he is not qualified to dictate!
Yang Zhong became short of breath, and immediately stepped out, uttering words like pearls, and his aquiline nose became even more sharp:

"General Yuwen is too hasty. Your Majesty hasn't told the ancestors to sacrifice, how can we congratulate you?"

Yu Wenbai didn't look at him directly, he cupped his hands and said:
"I did not disgrace my mission, and I have sacrificed to my ancestors on behalf of His Majesty!"

After Yang Zhong heard this, he became even more anxious and his chest heaved continuously. Only the royal clan can offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and even the remote clans are not qualified to do so.

What is your Yuwen worship?
"Heaven and earth are superior and humble, and monarchs and ministers are different. Yuwen begs you to overstep!"

Yang Zhong called his name directly, and angrily reprimanded Yu Wenbai, just talking, his emotions gradually calmed down.

"You gentlemen, don't hurt your peace."

Liu Ke, who was at the top, raised his hand, smiling all over his face, and spoke softly:
"General Yuwen is my elder brother, and there is nothing wrong with offering sacrifices to our ancestors on my behalf."

Brother. Brother? ?
Even some ministers with dissenting intentions couldn't help but feel a little chilled. The former emperor jumped into the water, and the new emperor ascended the throne, but he recognized the powerful ministers as brothers.

Reluctantly, the enthronement ceremony is a big event after all, no matter how sad and chilling he is, he still has to force a smile.

Liu Ke also laughed.

Sure enough, only by standing on the top can we see the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty clearly.

When the hall became a little quieter, Liu Ke said:

"I ascended to the position at the age of a weak crown, and I still need the cooperation of all ministers to share my worries."

"I dare you not to try your best——"

The officials responded in unison, one by one, not knowing how sincere they were.

"You have a heart, and we will be able to revive the Han Dynasty and restore the old capital with the joint efforts of the monarch and ministers!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Yu Wenbai did not back down, he stood in front of the ministers vaguely, listening to the sound of long live, he felt a little enthusiasm in his heart.

Suddenly someone hurried into the hall with a longbow on his back and a letter in his hand:

"Report--[-] urgent!!!"

"What's so alarming about?"

Liu Ke waved his hand: "Speak."

"King Zuoxian of Donghu led an attack, only ten miles away from Qiongzhou City!"

"Ten miles?"

Among the ministers, there was a small exclamation.

"Is this true?"

Liu Ke stepped down from the throne, held the hand of the visitor, and said eagerly:
"It only takes two hours at most for ten miles to ride a jackal in the east."

There are only one or two hours left for the big man to die!
The ministers feel sorry for each other.

The timing of Donghu soldiers and horses was too coincidental, just taking advantage of the opportunity of the new emperor's funeral, the new emperor's enthronement, low morale, and disharmony between the monarch and his ministers, and launched a war to destroy the country.

If it is said that there are no secret officials inside, no one will believe it.

There are also some courtiers who are even more regretful. If they had known today, they should have directly colluded with the enemy when the late emperor dived into the water.

"Colleagues, stay safe and don't be impatient."

Yu Wenbai suddenly spoke out to comfort him. When he was in a panic, this rough and deafening voice really made people feel at ease.

Seeing the officials looking at him, he was very satisfied, and continued:
"The pheasant is young, incompetent in military affairs, and neglects government affairs. As a brother, I should share his worries!"

"Now that the Donghu army is coming to attack, if there is any disagreement, we will suffer. Why don't I do it for you and act as a regent to stop the enemy!"

Pheasant, just because, translation, translation, that is our Liu Xiaoji, young and stupid, not at all the material to be an emperor, so do you want me to be the regent?

The regent is more advanced than the auxiliary government. The auxiliary government is still to assist the emperor in governing, and the regent is to take over the power. Going further, it is to abolish the establishment.

Yang Zhong was very angry when he heard it, but he slowed down a little bit, it really made sense.

If there is anyone in the big man who can resist Donghu's inevitable offensive this time, it can only be Yu Wenbai, the number one warrior in the southern kingdom.

At the same time, Yu Wenbai holds the military power. If he is unwilling, he can basically announce the early death of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, Yu Wenbai's lack of qualifications and unorthodox background could be used to obstruct one or two reasons.

But the emperor somehow became brothers with Yuwen, and this reason no longer exists.

Regardless of factual considerations or legal principles, no one can stop Yuwen from worshiping the regent.

If Yu Wenbai was changed to Liu Bai on the spot, he could even try to sit in that big position by himself.

"What do you guys think?"

Yu Wenbai raised his eyebrows, his beard trembled slightly, and his elbows were vaguely clasped on the sword at his waist.

The ministers suddenly discovered a fact.

The sword is on the upper hall, and the only one with a weapon in this hall is Yu Wenbai, who is known as the number one warrior in the southern kingdom and the undeserved courage of all husbands.

Many warriors are his accomplices.

And the guards outside the hall were soldiers brought out by him.

As for the trusted bodyguard left behind by the late emperor.
It is said that last night Yu Wenbai paid homage to the emperor without permission, and none of the group of wine bags and rice bags farted.

This means that, if it is a bit exaggerated, Yu Wenbai can completely kill the entire Han court, or pack them up one by one and send them to the East Hu army.

And these courtiers don't even have any ability to resist.

Photographed by Yu Wenbai's power, all the officials were silent and dared not speak.

Everything is quiet.

Suddenly a person came out from the list of civil servants, and pointed at Yu Wenbai with a flick of his sleeve:

"General Yuwen is not the only one who dares to fight in the court!"
