A landscape and a thatched hut are simple things for ordinary people, but for Ji Zuo, they were hard to obtain even after spending nearly twenty years.

Xiao Chengjun came out of Fengyi Palace and stood on the jade steps looking at the magnificent palace. Now this is no longer a dangerous place, but a place where he can do whatever he wants and command the world. It is also the time, after becoming a father, to

Do something yourself.

"If, if you can't get out, I will stay here with you." After the prince left, Xu Che slowly walked behind Ji Zuo and whispered.

Ji Zhuo raised his beautiful eyes and looked at him with a smile, "If you don't even have this bit of courage, how can you be the emperor I raised?"

In the winter of the eleventh year of Chunde, the previous emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne and changed his name to Hongyuan.

As the prince, Xiao Chengjun took over the throne of the emperor legitimately, so the enthronement ceremony was naturally a grand one. Hundreds of officials congratulated him, and the whole world celebrated.

Yang Youting is now the only prime minister, and he is in charge of the ceremony.

Starting early in the morning, Xiao Chengjun went to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to heaven in his princely attire. He told his ancestors, set up a treasure book, and played drums and music, which was very solemn. After all the complicated etiquette was completed, Prime Minister Yang Youting shouted: "The memorial ceremony is completed!"

Then everyone returned to the palace and performed the enthronement ceremony in Taiji Palace, the main hall of the palace.

A gold case was set up in the hall. The prime minister led hundreds of officials to kneel down and enter the hall with their crowns and robes placed on the gold case. They shouted loudly in unison: "Invite the emperor to ascend the throne."

Then all the ministers left the palace, Xiao Chengjun put on his official uniform, walked out from the front hall, and walked up the steps of Taiji Palace. There was a Jiuhua throne on the main hall. Tongzan led the prime minister to the throne and sang at the same time: "Planning!"

The civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the throne, kneeling towards Xiao Chengjun, who was slowly walking out of the south hall. He moved his body as the emperor walked forward, facing the emperor from beginning to end. The prime minister also knelt down beside the throne.

Music was being played, and the sound of elegant court music was heard. With the solemnity and solemnity inherited from eternity, he congratulated the new emperor on taking charge of the world and prayed to God to bless the emperor.

Lou Jing came as the crown prince of Anguo, knelt at the foot of the jade steps, and watched the emperor, who was dressed in bright yellow and colorful dragon-patterned clothes and wearing a crown of twelve east beads, step by step up the steps.

The young and handsome emperor was completely attracted to him, and it was difficult to move away from him.

In the battle for the throne, one wrong step can lead to doom. Xiao Chengjun has been planning for more than ten years, and has walked on thin ice until today. After experiencing all kinds of poisoning, assassination, frame-up, slander, and suspicion, he deposed the crown prince and went to the southeast. Phoenix

Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes, and finally today, he took back everything that belonged to him.

Black cloud boots embroidered with dragon patterns with gold thread, stepping on the white marble steps of the Nine Dragons, every step seems to break the obstacles in the way, overcoming thorns and thorns, unswervingly.

With a solemn look on his face, the young emperor climbed to the top and ascended the golden throne. His broad sleeves fluttered on both sides of the throne. He sat facing south and received the gaze of the world. His majestic appearance shocked all directions.

All the officials shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The five-faced military generals and the royal family members shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, with great momentum and resounded throughout the sky.

"Pingshen." Xiao Chengjun responded loudly.

The drumming stopped and Tongzan sang again: "Kneel down!"

All the officials knelt down and worshiped. The official opened the box and took out the jade seal and handed it to the prime minister. Yang Youting took the jade seal and stepped forward and said loudly: "The emperor has ascended to the throne, and I would like to present the imperial treasure."

Then Shang Baoqing, that is, Yao Zhu, the Minister of Rites, took the jade seal and put it in the box. Tongzan sang: "Take your place, worship!" All the officials bowed again.

"According to the late emperor's decree and in compliance with the crown prince's rule, I ascend the throne as emperor today and change the Yuan Dynasty to Hongyuan!" Xiao Chengjun declared loudly, the emperor's majesty was fully displayed, and it echoed outside the open hall for a long time.

Hundreds of officials knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and the mountains shouted long live.

From this time on, the Yu Dynasty ushered in the ninth emperor, and then it was the first year of Hongyuan. After ten years of wasted time, Dayu finally ushered in a wise monarch. From then on, the Yu Dynasty began to move forward.

Unprecedented prosperity.

However, this is all a thing for another day. The noble officials at this moment did not expect the grand scene in the future, and were shocked speechless by the edict of the new emperor's enthronement.

The edicts read out by the new emperor on the day he ascends the throne often have the meaning of abolishing the old and eliminating the new. Even if they are a bit absurd, they cannot be violated. Therefore, at this time, everyone is very nervous, fearing that the emperor will issue some strange decree.

"The Queen Mother has made great contributions to Da Yu's hard work. I can't bear the fact that my father is wasting his years in the deep palace, so I no longer grant the title of Queen Mother, but the title of Marquis of Jinghai." Xiao Chengjun's face was calm. Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he continued to announce the enthronement edict, "Original

The Crown Princess, Lou Jing, is wise, virtuous, and has done great service in protecting the country. She is named Queen and will get married on a certain day."

Instead of conferring the title of Marquis upon the Queen Mother, this kind of thing has never happened before.

In fact, the status of male queens was very high originally, and unlike women, they had to stay in the palace for the rest of their lives. However, no emperor had the guts to do such a thing as letting the queen out of the palace. In the past, those emperors were not

Fearing that the male queen's influence would force her to be buried, she was granted the title of empress dowager and kept in the palace. What Emperor Hongyuan did was a great feat.

Everyone did not dare to have any objections and kowtowed. Taking advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the matter was settled easily.

Xu Che, as a general who was temporarily staying in Beijing, naturally wanted to attend the enthronement ceremony. When he heard this decree, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He stayed on the spot. If Lou Jing hadn't pulled him, he would have forgotten to bow.

kowtow.

Lou Jing glanced at her second uncle who was overwhelmed with excitement, and then looked at the emperor on the throne. That majestic gaze met his. Only he understood the emperor's intention, not just for Empress Ji...

"I just hope that after I die, the descendants of the Xiao family will be kind to you."

Xiao Chengjun acted like this just because he hoped that the world would be kind to the empress and the love in his heart.

The new emperor ascended the throne and the previous emperor was buried. Emperor Chunde lived a mediocre life and made no great achievements. The Ministry of Rites discussed it for a long time and finally decided on the posthumous title of Renzong.

When Ji Zhu heard this posthumous title, he couldn't help but sneer. His ears were soft, his methods were not decisive enough, and he always cared about old friendships. He should be regarded as the word "benevolence".

After the congratulations from all the officials, a general amnesty was announced and the court was very busy. The wedding of the emperor and empress was postponed to the twelfth lunar month.

In fact, after Xiao Chengjun resumed his position as Crown Prince, it stands to reason that Lou Jing is still the Crown Princess and does not need to marry again. However, Xiao Chengjun felt that he was too hasty when he married the Crown Princess, and he must provide for him this time. More importantly,

Emperor Hongyuan felt that this time he was truly a husband, and he must take the matter seriously to avoid Lou Jing finding any excuses to refuse to fulfill his wife's obligations.

The Mansion of An Guo Gong was very lively these days, and there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him. The Lou family seemed to have restored its grandeur when the old An Guo Gong was still alive.

Lou Jing took the place of her sick father to entertain the guests, and she seemed to be the head of the Lou family. No one was surprised. If Lou Jianyu came to receive them, they might not be happy. After all, they came to make friends with Conglong.

The general Zhennan who made such a great contribution was the one who was about to become the queen, not the Duke Anguo who had not held any official position yet and was still humiliated by being hanged on a city tower by rebellious officials and traitors.

"Loudan, you said you have been busy for a whole year and haven't caught anything... why bother... hiccup..." Zhou Song, the second son of the Marquis of Guanxi, said drunkenly, holding up his wine glass.

The Marquis of Guanxi also returned to Beijing to congratulate him in the past two days, and his eldest son Zhou Chong also came back. Hearing his brother's words, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him, "Don't say a few words!" Zhou Chong was tall and strong, and this pull

, almost dragging his skinny brother down.

The atmosphere at the table was a little awkward. Prince Qingyang hurriedly smiled and said, "I was drunk on Tuesday. Ignore him."

Lou Jing held the wine glass with a faint smile, "Tuesday, how do you know I didn't catch anything?"

"You are about to marry into the palace!" Zhou Song was unhappy, threw away his brother's hand, and looked at Lou Jing with drunken eyes, "You have such merit, the emperor is just following the routine, as long as you bring it up, the emperor will

I would marry someone else if I had no choice but to marry someone else.”

People thought that this time Lou Jing would be promoted to a high official if he had the merit of following the dragon. But unexpectedly, the emperor wanted to marry someone into the palace again. There were rumors that the emperor was afraid of Anguo Gong's son because he was too good at conquering and fighting.

His power wants to lock him in the deep palace.

Lou Jing looked at the friends at this table. Everyone thought so, but Zhou Song said it first. He lowered his eyes and drank slowly, smiling without saying a word.

Zhao Xi, who came to join in the fun when he returned to the capital, couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. If the emperor didn't marry him, this general with great military achievements would lead his army to force the palace. Alas, everyone is drunk and I am alone. It is a genius.

Lonely.

Ji Zuo had already been granted the title of Marquis, and the fiefdom was set in Minzhou, but he was still the first empress after all. He planned to preside over the wedding of the emperor and empress before leaving the palace. So he moved out of Fengyi Palace and lived in Fen'an where the empress dowager should live.

He went to the palace, and the newly recruited guard Xu also moved to Feng'an Palace without leaving.

Chang En, the eunuch who was originally the general manager of the East Palace, was promoted to the general manager of the palace. He still maintained a decent smile and happily arranged for manpower to renovate Fengyi Palace in preparation for welcoming the new queen.

Of course, the happiest person is Le Xian. He was originally a young eunuch in the East Palace, but later he was promoted to a young eunuch while serving the crown princess. This time Lou Jing became the queen, so he naturally became the chief steward of Fengyi Palace. It was already a happy event

His face was so full of smiles that his teeth couldn’t even see his eyes.

When Zhao Xi came back, he naturally brought the emperor's grandson with him. Now the emperor's grandson has temporarily returned to Prince Jing's Mansion. The new emperor has not yet said anything about how to arrange his grandson's position, and the ministers are worried and dare not mention it.

In the end, it was all the fault of the late emperor. He deposed the crown prince and established a grandson, and then restored the crown prince. In this way, the status of the emperor's grandson became embarrassing.

It stands to reason that the grandson of the emperor should be the crown prince in the East Palace, but Emperor Hongyuan succeeded to the throne legitimately, so why would he be willing to pass the throne to his brother's son? For a time, the officials in Beijing were worried about Prince Jing's family.

King Jing is indeed having a headache now, because Xiao Qirui kept crying when he returned to the palace, insisting on finding his "beautiful father".

"Rui'er doesn't want a mother anymore?" Princess Jing held her son in her arms and wiped her crying face with a handkerchief.

"Mom, I want it." Xiao Qirui twitched and lay in her mother's arms.

The nanny breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, her biological mother was more affectionate. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qirui raised her head after being quiet for a while, pulling the tassel on Princess Jing's hairpin, "Mother, look for your beautiful daddy!"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't laugh or cry, she stretched out her hand and tapped her son's head, "You little heartless boy."

Xiao Chengjin shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how Lou Jing coaxed the child to bribe this little thing to this point. After the wedding, the crown prince would probably be announced, and the child would have to move to Fengyi Palace. Originally, he was worried about Xiao Qirui

I can't live without my mother. Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

The court was in ruins and awaiting prosperity. Xiao Chengjun wanted to ask Zhao Duan to come back and take up the post of prime minister. However, Zhao Duan repeatedly refused, saying that he was too old to be useful. Xiao Chengjun did not force any more and promoted a new person to the post of right prime minister.

People never expected that the newly appointed Right Chancellor would be Sun Liang, Minister of War, who was only in his forties.

As we all know, Sun Liangnai was Chen Shichang's favorite disciple. Emperor Hongyuan did not kill him, but instead promoted him to the position of Right Chancellor. This made the originally fearful Right Chancellor faction feel at ease, and those who were flattering others gradually became more active.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor once appointed the eldest son of Prince Jing as the grandson of the emperor. However, the late emperor issued a decree to reinstate the crown prince. The position of the emperor's grandson should no longer exist. We also ask the emperor to remove the position of the emperor's grandson." A few days after he ascended the throne, an anxious man came to the throne.
