Chapter 756 Invite the eldest princess to ascend the throne! Long live! Long live! Long live!
His Majesty died?
Outside the palace gate, everyone was stunned by the news.
The bad news came so suddenly.
So much so that when people on horseback ran past, many people didn't react.
On the day of the eldest princess's wedding, His Majesty passed away suddenly?
The sound of festive playing music, the sound of firecrackers, and the noise of talking, at this moment, seemed to be suddenly choked by someone, and all came to an abrupt end.
Everyone froze in place, like wood carvings, unbelievable.
"Dang-dang-dang-"
The heavy ringing of the bell finally brought them all back to reality.
"Your Majesty... passed away..."
The trembling voice of Prince Duan rang out in the silent crowd.
It was as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, and immediately set off a circle of ripples.
Immediately, the other members of the royal family, the eunuchs and maids welcoming the bride, suddenly burst into tears in unison.
"Your Majesty!"
Prince Duan staggered, crying and rushed to the city gate.
The royals followed behind, crying.
Ling Xiaozong and other sects looked at each other with shocked and complicated expressions on their faces, and immediately followed in.
The ceremonial staff in festive clothes, as well as the staff beating gongs and drums, all looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Undress! Undress!"
The official of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly.
A group of people staggered into the palace with mixed feelings of shock, doubt, amazement, disbelief and so on, weeping in grief.
In the sky, there are still snowflakes.
In the center of the imperial city, above the Yongyan Palace, thick smoke billowed, blackening the sky for half a day.
The huge tongue of flame, like a ferocious beast, roared crazily above the ruins of the palace.
All the people in the palace gathered outside the sea of flames.
The whole palace was full of mournful cries.
The welcoming team that just came in, as well as people from Ling Xiaozong and other sects, saw this scene, and they were all panicked, frightened and suspicious.
What the **** is going on here?
His Majesty passed away suddenly, was it a sudden illness, or...
Duan Wang Nangong Ke grabbed a palace **** and asked loudly, "What happened to Yongyan Palace? How did His Majesty die?"
The young eunuch's face was pale, and he said tremblingly: "Slave... I don't even know..."
"Trash!"
Nangong Ke cursed angrily, and immediately led everyone to Yongyan Palace in a hurry.
The courtyard wall outside Yongyan Palace has already collapsed, and the once majestic and magnificent palace inside has collapsed into ruins at this moment, groaning in pain in the terrible sea of flames.
The surrounding area is full of imperial guards, guards, eunuchs, and court ladies.
And at the front, the figure in the big red wedding gown, surrounded by all the guards, is particularly eye-catching.
The queen mother was also there, but at the moment she was being supported by the eldest grandson Wan'er, crying to death.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Ke immediately yelled at the crowd and walked over in a hurry. Suddenly, another cry came from his mouth, and tears flowed down immediately.
"Queen Dowager, Huoyue, what happened? How could His Majesty... why did he die suddenly? Why did the fire suddenly ignite here?"
Other members of the royal family also asked sadly.
Nangong Huoyue stood there with a cold expression, staring at the flames in front of her, without saying a word.
The queen mother cried so much that she almost fainted, and she was also unable to answer.
At this moment, a tall, armored figure with a sword mark on his neck suddenly walked out from the side, and said with grief on his face, "Return to Prince Duan, Your Majesty was assassinated suddenly by Zijin Taoist, the master of the Zijin Temple... A big fire was set by him..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, with different expressions.
Nan Gongke looked at him suspiciously and said, "Prince Yuan, how could Taoist Zijin assassinate His Majesty suddenly? Isn't he extremely favored by His Majesty and loyal to His Majesty?"
Yuan Chong said with red eyes: "The Zijin Taoist practiced evil methods. I just found a lot of corpses in the underground secret room. It was horrible...Maybe he suddenly went crazy, or was instigated by others, so he killed the killer..."
Nangong Ke frowned, and looked at the fire in front of him again, and then looked at the cold and calm red figure in front again.
"This king has known it for a long time! I have known that the old Taoist priest is an evil person! Back then, this king persuaded His Majesty, but unfortunately His Majesty didn't listen, hey..."
Nangong Ke suddenly wiped away tears with a heartbroken expression on his face.
At this time, other princes, county kings and ministers also rushed over after hearing the news. They were all shocked and saddened to see the scene in front of them.
"How could this be...how could this be..."
"Your Majesty is young, why did he die suddenly..."
"God bless me, Da Yan!"
Everyone is in grief.
At this time, the gray-haired Prime Minister Zuo Zheng wiped away his tears, cupped his hands and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty passed away suddenly, and we are all extremely saddened. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Please cheer up the Queen Mother and establish a new one first." Jun, stabilize the court situation, so as to reassure the hearts of the people."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Everyone had different expressions, and raised their heads while weeping in grief.
The prime minister spoke, and the other veterans immediately echoed: "Yes, Queen Mother, the country cannot live without a king, and now the border of Dayan is in turmoil, and other neighboring countries are also eyeing them, so we must determine a new king as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the world. "
The Empress Dowager Changsun wept bitterly, and cried for a long time. Fang Hong raised his head with eyes red, and with the support of Changsun Wan'er, he stood up straight, and said sadly: "Everyone can do it as you see, I'm a woman. People, how can you understand the important affairs of the country, let alone dare to make a new king. If you choose the wrong person, how will this palace explain to the late emperor, and how to explain to my poor emperor."
Zuo Zheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Queen Mother, princes and colleagues, today we will recommend a few, let the Queen Mother discuss with everyone, if possible, let's set up as soon as possible."
Others echoed: "What the prime minister said is very true, such a major event must be established as soon as possible."
"The prime minister is highly respected, let's recommend someone first."
"Yes, let's listen to the prime minister first."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be scrupulous, Zuo Zheng had no choice but to say: "The old minister thinks that Prince Duan is extremely intelligent and talented. Although he has a fun-loving temper, he is very human. If he can ascend to the throne, he will definitely bring me great flames." Here comes the new weather."
As soon as this remark came out, the face of Duan Wang Nangongke on the side suddenly changed, he was surprised and angry: "Old man, bah bah bah, old prime minister, you are joking, this king is stubborn by nature, and he wants to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and play in mountains and rivers." Shui, you can't be emperor. If you miss the country, you really don't have the face to see my elder brother. This matter must never be mentioned again!"
Zuo Zheng looked at him, and when he was about to speak, Nangong Ke immediately said in a hurry: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. This king is still suffering from a secret illness. He has to run around every day to find flowers and ask willows. He can't calm down and deal with the affairs of the court. Don't worry." You can't be an emperor. Even if you become an emperor, you will definitely be a big fool." After speaking, he sneaked a glance at the red figure in front of him.
Zuo Zheng saw that he didn't seem to be pretending to decline, but he seemed to be sincerely unwilling to be emperor, so he had to frown and give up.
At this time, the Taiwei Wang Fu suddenly cupped his hands and said: "Queen Dowager, Prime Minister, lords, the old minister recommends the King of Thailand. The King of Thailand is in the prime of life, with strong martial arts skills and strategic strategies. He is deeply loved by the soldiers. Yan will no longer be invaded by that monster race and foreign countries!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
At this time, Song Wenbin, the official censor, suddenly said: "The late emperor has many sons and daughters, and they are all in the palace. Why bother to look far away? The king of Thailand is still at the border, confronting the demon clan. How can he come back in time to inherit the throne?"
Wang Fu glanced at him, and when he was about to argue, the minister of the Ministry of Rites said suddenly: "The queen mother, I also think that I should choose from the princes of the late emperor. The late emperor has two sons. Although they are young, there are the queen mother and the minister. Assistant, the situation should be stabilized soon."
At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Households all clasped their hands and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!"
The queen mother saw that everyone had a candidate, and she couldn't stop arguing. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and when she was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "I think that the most suitable candidate is right in front of you, so why bother to look for something far away?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw the crowd behind them was crowded, and they couldn't see the speaker clearly at all, and the speaker also suddenly fell silent at this moment.
At this time, Li Fang, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, suddenly said: "Well said! I also think that the most suitable candidate is right in front of you!"
After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at the red figure standing closest to the sea of fire, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, I think Your Highness the Eldest Princess is the most suitable candidate!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
The queen mother trembled even more.
Unexpectedly, Li Fang knelt down directly, and said impassionedly: "Your Highness has made great achievements in the world, and all the people will return to their hearts, and his talent in governing the country is obvious to all! He should be enthroned as the emperor, and I will add another contribution to the prosperity of my country and the prosperity of the country!"
Immediately said loudly: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"
In the field, there was a sudden silence.
It’s just this silence, which only lasted for a few breaths. The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, and the left and right censors all knelt down one after another, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness has made great achievements in the world, and the hearts of all people are united. He should be enthroned as emperor!"
Immediately they said in unison: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"
The Empress Dowager's face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and the nails in her sleeves were slowly digging into her palms.
Other members of the royal family, ministers, and guests standing not far away all had complicated expressions and were silent.
At this moment, Prime Minister Zuo Zheng suddenly blushed and pointed at the courtier kneeling on the ground and said angrily: "Absurd! Absurd! How did the eldest princess' daughter become the emperor! Are you crazy?"
Taiwei Wang Fu also immediately said with a gloomy face: "It's ridiculous! The eldest princess has indeed worked hard and made great achievements in governing the country, but she is a daughter after all. I have built a country for many generations. How can I have a daughter who is the emperor? It's so slippery! Funny!"
Wei Gong, Minister of the Household Department, also sneered: "Who bought you people, have you practiced in advance? You deliberately set the eldest princess on the fire! Now His Majesty has just passed away, and the cause of death is unknown. Just jumping out in such a hurry to speak nonsense, and let a woman from the eldest princess become the emperor? How do you make the world think of the eldest princess?"
The field suddenly fell silent.
Wei Gong sneered and continued to speak, but the red figure standing in front of the sea of flames suddenly turned his head, looked at him and said, "Master Wei is hinting to everyone that the assassination of the emperor has something to do with my palace?"
Wei Gong's eyes flashed, he cupped his hands and bowed his head, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just..."
"killed."
Nangong Huoyue suddenly spoke lightly.
While everyone was in astonishment, Yuan Zhong, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army standing next to Wei Gong, suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist with a "clang", and then there was a flash of cold light, and Wei Gong's head fell to the ground!
Everyone was shocked!
At this time, Yuan Zhong suddenly retracted his knife and knelt down, and said loudly to the red shadow in front of him: "Please ascend the throne, the eldest princess! Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!"
As soon as the words fell, the two thousand Imperial Forest Army standing outside all knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted in unison: "Please ascend the throne, the eldest princess! Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!"
The shouts are like thunder, deafening! Resounding throughout the imperial city!
The city gate guards and soldiers in the distance all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please ascend the throne, the eldest princess! Please ascend the throne, the eldest princess!"
"Snapped!"
The headless body of Wei Gong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, fell to the ground spurting blood at this moment.
The rest of the ministers were all pale, and the two were fighting.
Prince Duan Nangong Ke suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "plop", bowed his head to the red figure in front of him, and shouted excitedly, "Princess please ascend the throne!"
When he knelt, the other members of the royal family all looked embarrassed and terrified. Without any hesitation, they immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Please ascend the throne, the eldest princess!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!"
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the eldest princess gets married and the emperor dies.
On this day, people inside and outside the entire imperial city could hear the thunderous voice:
"The eldest princess please ascend the throne!"
