The devil is coming

Chapter 712 Xiao Liuzi enters the imperial city, and Lord Zheng sits on the dragon throne
"Come up and sit down." Ji Chengjue invited Zheng Fan.
"You want me to drive you?" Zheng Fan asked.
Last time outside the capital, Emperor Yan and King Jingnan were riding in a carriage, and the driver was Zheng Fan.
"That's nonsense." Ji Chengjue smiled, "If you are willing, I won't be polite."
"Think beautifully."
Lord Zheng turned over and got off Pixiu.
On the other side, in the carriage.
Ji Chengjue looked at Ji Chenglang and said:
"Second brother, you go down first."
Not a negotiation, but an order.
But somehow, Ji Chenglang felt that this commanding tone made him more comfortable.
He hated his father, but like the fourth prince, he became confused again after his father died;
What he hates is that person, but what he is used to is the way of life when that person is around;
"it is good."
Therefore,
When Zheng Fan was about to get on the carriage, Ji Chenglang came out first.
Zheng Fan took a step back and let Ji Chenglang get off the carriage first. The two nodded, and then Zheng Fan got on the carriage.
Eunuch Wei wanted to lend a hand, but Zheng Fan refused.
There was no charcoal pot burning in the carriage, so it was a bit cold.
Ji Chengjue sat there, watching Zheng Fan come in, and then watching Zheng Fan sit down.
"Old Zheng, I feel a little panicked."
"real or fake?"
"It's the same feeling as when I became a father for the first time. After all, it's the first time in my life that I'm an emperor."
“Once it’s strange, it’s familiar again. If you come again a few times, you’ll become numb.”
Ji Chengjue nodded and leaned carelessly into the corner of the carriage. He looked extremely weak and helpless.
"Father is dead."
"I heard the bells."
Ji Chengjue raised his hand and said:
"I killed him with a dagger, piercing his father's chest."
"Your Majesty should be very pleased."
"Well, he forced me to move his hand. He wanted to be freed, and I gave it to him."
"pretty good."
"Zheng, I'm starting to get tired. I'm sitting in the carriage now and haven't ascended the throne yet, but I can already imagine in my mind how tired I will be in 60 years."
"Are you sure you can live another 60 years?"
"Why can't you have a serious conversation with me? When you were pretentious in the past, even though I was so fed up in my heart, I still cooperated with you on the surface."
"Well, well, being an emperor must be very tiring if you want to be a good emperor."
"Yeah, my mind is very confused now."
"Get some sleep. I'll call you when you get to the palace."
Ji Chengjue deeply believed that,
Weakly, he stretched out his weak arm and moved his weak hand to point at Zheng Fan with his weak fingers.
"Zheng, please let me lend you my shoulder."
"Go to hell, get out."
"hey-hey."
Ji Chengjue smiled,
It didn't reach my shoulders either.
But he closed his eyes contentedly and began to take a nap.
outside,
The carriage driven by Eunuch Wei arrived in front of the palace gate.
Ji Chengfeng had already walked over with Lu Bing.
The Chief of Ceremony, Wei Zhonghe, Eunuch Wei is driving a carriage, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is walking outside with him. Before putting him down, the person sitting inside must be Emperor Yan;
Ok,
Now,
The person sitting inside must be Emperor Yan.
The stone in Ji Chengfeng's heart has finally fallen to the ground. He is different from Zheng Fan. No matter what, Zheng Fan can still cheer up after leaving Yanjing City and returning to his Marquis Mansion. Unless Dayan wants to have civil strife, the court and the new king will not Probably too much for him.
But Ji Chengfeng is a prince, and the fate of the prince will inevitably undergo a profound reshuffle when the throne changes.
The fourth child is also the master who can let it go.
I’ve already put it down once when I was at a roast duck restaurant.
So this time,
He knelt down directly:
"Ji Chengfeng bows to your majesty, long live my emperor!"
Before he has ascended the throne, it is not appropriate to call His Majesty "Long Live";
But it was only one step away from the process. The former prince was waiting nearby, and Ji Chengfeng really couldn't think of anything else that could cause trouble.
Regardless of whether the sixth brother was legitimately passed on to the throne with the approval of his father, or whether he had obtained the throne through trickery.
Ah,
The dragon chair?
This is a winner-takes-all game.
But Ji Chengfeng knelt down and shouted, but there was still no sound in the carriage.
Immediately,
Cold sweat began to break out from Ji Chengfeng's forehead.
It is true that he is half a member of the Liuye Party, but the other half is a princeling.
He was asked by his father to lead troops to control the palace gates. He was in such a dangerous position, but he never sent a message to the current victor, not even a hint of a glance.
You can explain that you were very scared at the time, but you wanted to get something in return without giving, which is obviously impossible.
The ministers can protect themselves wisely, since they are doing long-term work for the Ji family anyway, but the prince is different. The prince is the new king's brother and a relative. If there is something going on between relatives, if you don't pay any attention to it, it will really hurt people's feelings.
Ji Chengfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, became more and more frightened and panicked as he thought about it.
at last,
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lord Zheng leaned out half of his body and said to the fourth prince who was kneeling in front of the carriage:
"Get up, he's tired and fell asleep."
Ji Chengfeng felt like he was being pardoned and subconsciously wanted to reply: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Fortunately, he held back.
Zheng Fan reached out and patted Wei Zhonghe on the shoulder and said:
"The car should drive slower and let him sleep more."
Eunuch Wei immediately responded:
"Yes, the slave understands."
At Ji Chengfeng's signal, the Beijing soldiers guarding the palace gate gave way. After being given the order, the soldiers of the Beijing camp visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
When they faced the Jingnan Army's cavalry before, they were scared to death. They were all eating military rations. They all knew in their hearts that if they really fought hard, their own side would not be enough for others to kill.
The carriage entered the palace gate.
At the same time, the Jingnan Army brought by Lord Zheng also entered the palace.
In particular, the personal guards in brocade uniforms were directly guarding the carriage. The neat steps, the uniform direction of the knife handles, and the neat rhythm of the soles of their boots stepping on the blue bricks of the palace were really enjoyable.
Wei Zhonghe drove the carriage to the front of Yangxin Hall.
Lord Zheng reached out and gently shook Ji Chengjue, who was really asleep.
Road:
"arrive."
Ji Chengjue opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"You look like you deserve a beating."
You are going to be the emperor, but you still have no choice?
"I'm sleepy." Ji Chengjue explained, "I didn't sleep a wink for a few days and nights before I went to war with you. It's the same as when I fell asleep after seeing that the overall situation was decided. I felt relaxed and it was difficult to get up in a short time. Get up, you should understand."
"Many old men and women are like this after they get their big wishes."
"Haha, I can't, my son is still young."
"You're welcome, I'm here."
"Tsk, yes."
Ji Chengjue stood up and walked out of the carriage.
Lord Zheng came down from behind.
"Your Majesty, please take a short rest in the Yangxin Hall. Next, Master Zaifu will enter the palace with hundreds of officials." Wei Zhonghe reported.
"Yes." Ji Chengjue nodded and walked towards the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
After walking a few steps, he saw that Zheng Fan didn't follow him, so he turned around and waved to Zheng Fan, urging him:
"Come here."
Lord Zheng followed him up.
leftover,
Wei Zhonghe said to Ji Chenglang and Ji Chengfeng:
"Your Highnesses, please come with me and change your clothes first."
The two princes were taken down.
The Yangxin Hall is actually a place for small meetings. There is also a dragon chair inside. It is not as majestic as the main hall, but it is indeed a kind of dragon chair.
After Zheng Fan walked in, he put his hands on his hips and said:
"It's pretty smooth."
Ji Chengjue nodded and said, "After I stabbed the dagger into my father's chest, things became simple."
After all, the late emperor had arranged everything.
Ji Chengjue simply sat on the floor, and Zheng Fan also sat down next to him.
"Are you going to meet with officials soon?"
Although Marquis Zheng is a marquis, he actually doesn't know much about etiquette.
"Well, the second brother will first read out the edict to abolish himself, and then Zhao Jiulang will read out the edict for my succession. Then, I will accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and this matter will be settled.
The process is still simple. "
The hardest part is at the front. Once the front is done, the next step is just a formality.
At this time, Eunuch Wei walked in again. Lu Bing had other things to do outside, so Eunuch Wei was in charge of the inner palace.
The late emperor's own arrangements were extremely detailed.
In addition, Lord Zheng’s army has entered the palace,
It can be said,
Unless Lord Zheng suddenly becomes mad and wants to rebel, there will be no trouble in the palace.
"His Majesty."
"What's wrong? So fast?"
"No, no, it's still early for things outside. The officials still need to prepare, and the palace also needs to prepare. Although it is not a formal enthronement ceremony, it cannot be too hasty. This is the intention of the late emperor."
The formal enthronement ceremony must first offer sacrifices to heaven, and then condolences to the Ancestral Temple, a series of earthly procedures, and at the same time, various aspects of canonization.
Let’s not mention the canonization of meritorious ministers who win the title of heir. Just a series of canonizations such as the queen cannot be prepared easily. Fengguan Xiapei must prepare it, right?
Fortunately, there are only two women in the palace, and the queen must be He Sisi and Ling Xiang. It depends on the emperor's will whether he can be made a noble concubine.
The late emperor had at most prepared a well-fitting dragon robe for his son, but it was impossible for him to prepare a phoenix robe for his daughter-in-law. It wasn't that he couldn't prepare it, but it was too shameful and inappropriate for a father-in-law to prepare it.
In addition, there are rewards from the queen's mother's family, so there are many things to do.
Today is a formal appearance to tell the world who the new king of Dayan is, to stabilize the court and the people's hearts.
Then, there was still a national funeral to be held, and it was impossible to keep the coffin of Emperor Daxing for too long.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is here." Wei Zhonghe reported.
The seventh prince himself lives in the palace, and he is now begging to come over to meet his brother who is about to ascend the throne.
"Let him in."
"The slave obeys the order."
quickly,
Xiao Qi came in,
With a smile on his face, he crossed the threshold of the Cultivation Heart Hall and trotted over, opening his arms and looking happy.
"Brother Six, Brother Six..."
Xiao Qi came running,
Ji Chengjue continued to sit on the ground like this, looking at him calmly.
In an instant,
Xiao Qi seemed to feel that Li Zhong’s voice was fake;
The mother and concubine said that the father had passed away, and the servants also said that the father had passed away.
but,
Isn't his father still sitting in front of him?
running, running,
Xiaoqi stopped,
Under Ji Chengjue's calm gaze, he slowly knelt down, put away his smile, and seriously saluted and kowtowed:
"Ji Chengsu...see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Ji Chengjue still didn't speak.
Ji Chengsu raised his head in confusion. He saw clearly that the emperor was still there, as if he was no different from before, but he was no longer his father, but... his half-brother. .
Ji Chengjue finally spoke:
"Pack up your things and take your mother and concubine to move to the prince's mansion later."
"My son...oh no, my brother, please accept the order and thank me."
Xiaoqi is neither stupid nor naive. From the oldest to the youngest, none of the Ji family brothers are simple things.
Therefore, after Ji Chengsu received the order to thank him, he stood up and left.
He knew that his words in the roast duck restaurant had led to the current situation. It was best to live outside the palace with his mother and concubine in a decent manner, without making any noise or making trouble;
This is my brother, not my father.
Ji Chengjue looked at Wei Zhonghe and said, "Did the late emperor leave any instructions regarding the arrangements for the people in the palace?"
"Return to Your Majesty, never."
Ji Chengjue nodded.
There are still many concubines living in the palace, but this is indeed the temper of his father. He will arrange everything for him as the heir. As for the women who have served him, he will not know how to do it at all. care.
Ji Chengjue looked at Zheng Fan beside him and smiled;
"It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but my father has always maintained his cold-blooded nature."
Marquis Zheng looked at Eunuch Wei but did not answer.
"Okay, Eunuch Wei, go and get busy."
"Your Majesty, my servant is waiting outside. Just give me your orders."
"Well, for now, don't let outsiders in."
"Yes, I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong."
Eunuch Wei bowed and retired. He had just served the new king, so he was inevitably a bit unfamiliar. He should not have come to inform the Seventh Prince before, thus disturbing His Majesty Heping Xihouye.
Ji Chengjue wiped his face with his sleeves and asked Zheng Fan:
"You think there's oil on my face?"
"We'll just take a shower and change clothes later. Don't we also need to change our hair style?" Zheng Fan said with a smile on his lips.
"Why don't we take a bath together, and wash your armor too? Otherwise, I'll be full of energy in my dragon robe, and you'll look a little too shabby next to me."
"The armor doesn't have to be too flashy in the first place. I'll ask Wei Zhonghe Palace later to clean up some people, save them from sinking in the pond, put some blood on my armor, and make it look really stylish."
"You are really trying to disgust me."
"You were the one who hated me first."
What Ji Chengjue wants is to sit on the dragon throne with dignity and innocence.
What's going on with Ping Xihou, whose armor is stained with blood, standing next to him?
"I just saw it. Those clothes of your personal guards are very elegant."
"Oh? I feel so full and warm after all."
A few days ago, how could he care whether the clothes of Ping Xihou's bodyguards looked good or not.
Now, he feels good because he has the qualifications and conditions to purchase it himself.
"I just think the clothes of the palace guards are too boring and not as stylish as those worn by your personal guards."
"Okay, I'll send you the clothes pattern tomorrow."
"What's the name of this dress?"
"Jin Yi."
"So simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
"Okay, then the guards in the palace can be called Jin Yiwei directly."
"..." Zheng Fan.
"what happened?"
"You can do whatever you like."
"The surname is Zheng."
"Ah."
"Next, I want to do something."
"Cutting down the feudal clan?"
Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:
"When I was a prince, this was what I was thinking about, but now, I suddenly feel that it is no longer necessary. Just before, when I was sitting in the carriage entering the palace, I felt like I was dreaming and waking up. I felt like I was flying into the sky... "
"Oh, you're so lost."
"I overlooked the palace, slowly, I overlooked the capital, and then slowly, I overlooked the whole world.
Actually, I don't want to fulfill the last wish of the dead old man. What he wants has nothing to do with me. "
"You don't need to explain."
"But since I am sitting in this position, I have to do something. In the early years, there were rumors in the government and the public that the reason why my father was hesitant between my second brother and me was because he was struggling to cultivate his health and continue to forge ahead. Constantly weighing between them.
Even I think so. I think that my father has made a loss for the Yan Dynasty. He is afraid that if he continues to fight, he is afraid that future generations of emperors who want to leave a name in history like him will do this. The diluted property was completely destroyed. "
"and then?"
"Then I realized that what I said was true. I haven't summoned all the officials here yet, and I haven't even ascended the throne yet, but my heart has already started to get wild.
Zheng Fan,
do you know,
Being an emperor is a completely different feeling than being a prince or a minister. "
Lord Zheng rolled his eyes and reminded:
"Brother, what you are asking is very dangerous."
"Hahahahaha."
Ji Chengjue laughed and reached out to pat Zheng Fan on the shoulder.
"Come on, come on, come with me."
Ji Chengjue pulled Zheng Fan, and they walked up the steps together and came to the dragon chair.
Ji Chengjue sat down first, but the dragon chair was very spacious. He reached out and patted the free space next to it.
"Come, let's sit together and feel it."
In the eyes of others, this is your kindness to you, but if you really dare to sit down, haha...
It stands to reason that at this moment, there should be countless examples of sages flashing in the mind of Lord Zheng, such as Lu Buwei, Huo Guang, Zhang Juzheng, Ao Bai, Nian Gengyao...
You know, the ones above are domineering, but it seems that they have never sat on the dragon chair, but the end is already extremely miserable.
But Lord Zheng only hesitated for a moment or two, almost without any hesitation, and sat down on the dragon chair.
then,
He also reached out and pushed Ji Laoliu,
Road:
"Please give in first and let me sit alone and feel it."
"Hahaha, done."
Ji Chengjue actually stood up and stood aside.
Zheng Fan sat down in the middle of the dragon chair,
Sit upright first,
then,
Changed to a cross-legged position again,
Then he turned his back, leaned back, and lay down;
immediately,
Another position was changed, that is, putting his hands on his knees, making a melancholy pose.
Ji Chengjue smiled beside him and said, "Tell me, how do you feel?"
Zheng Fan raised his hand,
Road:
"Don't be noisy."
then,
Lord Zheng took out his large Zhonghua brand iron box from the middle of his chest armor and pulled out a huazi from it.
"Let me have a cigarette and feel it."
then,
Take out the fire fold,
He handed it to Ji Chengjue who was standing beside him.
"You bitch."
Ji Chengjue cursed, but still took the fire seal, opened the hat, blew on it, and then handed it over:
"Come, Lord Marquis, I will light it for you."
Mr. Zheng held a cigarette in his mouth, leaned his neck forward slightly, and after lighting it, took a deep breath;
immediately,
Smoke slowly puffed out from the nose.
Ji Chengjue smiled and asked beside him:
"How does it feel?"
Mr. Zheng held a cigarette between his arms,
Shaking the soot,
Nod,
Road:
"Comfortable."
