Chapter 757 The No. 1 Empress of the Great Flame, Visiting Hall Today!
Chapter 757 The First Empress of the Great Yan, Paying a Visit Today!
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the world shook!
On this day, the young emperor of Dayan passed away suddenly, and the entire Yongyan Palace was burned to ashes by a fire!
On this day, the eldest princess, who was young and young, was supported by all the ministers and pushed to the throne, becoming the only female emperor in Dayan for hundreds of years!
On this day, the entire capital was empty, and everyone was excitedly discussing several major events that happened in the imperial city in this short day.
The news comes out in various ways.
In less than half a day, the entire Great Yan, as well as the neighboring countries, were aware of it.
Some are happy, some are angry, some are shocked, and some are in disbelief.
Many forces are beginning to move around.
The queen mother's edict and the new emperor's edict were issued together and sent to all feudal states, prefectures, cities, armies, etc. across the country.
The emperor passed away, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. All the lords and important generals of the feudal states were summoned and were about to rush to Kyoto to attend the funeral and congratulate them.
However, many people received the edict with different attitudes.
Some rushed to the capital immediately, while others stayed on the sidelines and waited and watched, and even the ruler of the feudal country raised his troops to rebel and issued an appeal: "The eldest princess covets the throne, murders the emperor, is a big treason, and the world will punish her!"
"How absurd it is for a woman to succeed to the throne!"
Even many officials and members of the royal family in Kyoto were dissatisfied.
Some people, relying on their meritorious service and seniority, went directly to the palace to persuade and stop them, but most of them never returned.
The snow on the ground of the palace was soon stained with new blood.
The defenses of the inner city and the outer city were changed, the heads of many generals and soldiers fell to the ground, and the mansions of many meritorious ministers were stained red with blood.
Prime Minister Zuo Zheng hanged himself in the mansion.
Taiwei Wangfu's military power was seized, his head fell to the ground, and his whole family was beheaded...
In just half a day, the turmoil in the entire capital stopped, and no one raised any objections to the succession of the new emperor.
Even the Empress Dowager wiped her tears and issued a decree: "My daughter succeeds to the throne, following the will of heaven, following the will of the late emperor, and following the will of the people of the world!"
At the same time, she also took out a posthumous edict left by the late emperor, which was stamped with the seal of the late emperor, which said, "My daughter, Huoyue, is a talented woman in the sky, a wonderful woman in the world, ten times stronger than me, and has her own talents." Now, I will surely be able to stabilize the country and make our great Yan prosper and multiply. If the emperor can assist, he will assist; if he is not talented, my daughter can replace him, and the world will assist him" and so on.
Li Taiji, the witness of the Qin Tianjian, also reported: "A few years ago, the heavenly dog eclipsed the sun, and last night the nine stars were shining, and the eldest princess succeeds today, and she is the real dragon emperor. It has been foreshadowed, and it is God's will!"
For a time, the entire capital was full of voices singing praises.
Members of the royal family and meritorious ministers went to the palace one after another to meet the new emperor.
The eldest princess's brand new dragon robe and crown was urgently prepared within half a day.
Of course, the most embarrassing thing on this day was none other than the members of the Lingxiao Sect and the people from various factions who came to the wedding banquet with rich congratulatory gifts.
They stood there from morning to evening, during which time no one paid any attention to them.
The members of the royal family who were responsible for receiving the marriage and the wedding, as well as the staff of the Ministry of Rituals, all left and went to kneel down to worship the new emperor.
As members of the five great sects, of course they dare not casually worship the new emperor when this happens.
Originally, several elders discussed with Fairy Zixia and planned to leave quietly, but they were stopped by the Imperial Forest Army and did not let them leave.
A group of people stood alone in front of the ruins of Yongyan Palace, drenched in the wind and snow, watching the fire burn, watching the fire go out, watching the dawn and the dark, forming a sharp contrast with other busy people in the palace .
Until night fell, still no one came to greet them.
People from all sects couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sect Master Zixia, why don't you ask me? Why didn't you let us go?"
"Yeah, the emperor passed away, and something like this happened in the palace. How embarrassing it is for us to stay here. Do you want us to kneel down and acknowledge her?"
"How is that possible? Our five major sects have already signed a contract with the imperial court, and we cannot intervene in these matters. Now the situation is unclear, who can really ascend... Cough, anyway, we definitely can't kneel down to worship."
"Hey, I thought that getting her married could prevent such a thing from happening, but who knew..."
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Hmph, do you think this is a coincidence? It just happened to be chosen on this day, and this is her last chance! If she really gets married..."
"Shhh, don't discuss these things anymore. No matter who gets to that position in the end, we can't talk about it. As long as he governs the country well and treats the people well."
"Fairy, today's marriage must be a mess. The emperor is dead, so we must not be able to get married. Besides, the eldest princess has become the new emperor now, and it is impossible to recruit a concubine..."
People from other sects all looked at the people of Ling Xiaozong with some pity.
Of course, I don't know what they think in their hearts.
All the elders of Ling Xiaozong and several peak masters were embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Fairy Zixia had a calm face, she turned her head to look at her apprentice, and even teased leisurely: "Feiyang, don't be sad, I will find you a better teacher for me."
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and remained silent.
Great Elder Wu Youzi looked at the big red wedding robe on his body, sighed, and said, "Feiyang, quickly take off the clothes on your body and change into another one."
Looking at this wedding robe in the morning, everyone in Ling Xiaozong was happy and proud, but now looking at this wedding robe, there is only embarrassment and glaring.
Mo Jiufeng also felt ashamed, and said, "Get off soon, get off."
Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses, quickly took it off, and threw it out.
Just as the Xipao was about to fall to the ground, a strong wind suddenly blew up beside it, and it took the Xipao back, and it fell into a white jade hand.
Linghu Qingzhu took the wedding robe and put it directly into his storage ring. Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, he said coldly: "Even if my Lingxiaozong has a great family and great business, I can't waste it like this. Wait until he gets down." Get married for the first time, and then continue to wear it."
Everyone else sighed and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou took out Ling Xiaozong's black robe from the storage ring, put it on, and looked at the ruins of the palace in front of him again, lost in thought.
The eldest princess' desire for power and her cold-blooded and domineering spirit on the battlefield were finally aroused, or in other words, she had been holding back all along.
I don't know how she will treat him and the Qin family after ascending to the throne.
If politics requires it, will she directly sacrifice him and the Qin family to stop the world's Youyou's mouth.
However, no matter how she explains it, it may be inevitable that she will bear the notoriety of fratricide and regicide.
Also, it is not so easy for a woman to become emperor.
I believe that the forces of all parties in Dayan will not let it go, especially those who have the right to inherit, and also have military power and prestige.
I don't know if she can calm the world and sit on the throne of the emperor safely.
At this time, the snow fell even more.
When everyone was anxious and angry, and was about to forcefully leave, a eunuch suddenly walked over and said respectfully: "Dear guests, Your Majesty wants you to gather at Chongming Palace."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Why go to Chongming Palace?Kneel down to worship the new emperor?
Daoist Sun of Qingyun Temple immediately said: "Please tell the eldest princess, it's getting late, I should go back."
The old eunuch respectfully said: "You don't need to worry too much, Your Majesty said it, just let you talk, you don't need to bow down, let alone change your name to Your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, such a big thing happened suddenly in the palace, I guess the eldest princess has something important to tell us, why don't you go and have a look?"
The elder of Xianyun Pavilion said.
The rest of the people had different expressions and could only nod their heads.
The old eunuch bowed his body, ready to lead the way.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly tugged Fairy Zixia's sleeve quietly, and said in a low voice: "Master, this disciple will not go, so as not to be embarrassing."
When Fairy Zixia was hesitating, the old eunuch seemed to have ears behind his back, turned his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that the groom must go."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"Let's go, there's nothing embarrassing about it."
Fairy Zixia said softly.
Luo Qingzhou could only lower his head and follow behind.
The old eunuch walked in small steps, bent over, and led the way.
Along the way, everyone was thinking about things with heavy hearts, and they were all silent.
The group soon arrived at Chongming Palace.
Outside the palace and inside the palace, there were all armored imperial guards standing there, looking cold and chilling.
A red carpet was spread on the ground.
The eunuchs and maids all lowered their heads, walking busily and silently in the corridor.
The old eunuch led a group of people across the wide square and onto the arch bridge.
Immediately, a familiar voice sounded from the entrance of the main hall: "The bridegroom officer and distinguished guests have arrived!"
Everyone: "..."
Luo Qingzhou's face froze, and when he looked up, it turned out to be that Prince Duan.
Everyone followed the old eunuch up the steps and into the hall.
Prince Duan also bowed his head and followed in.
The hall is decorated luxuriously and resplendently.
The two gold-inlaid steps are separated by a golden dragon painting in the middle, extending straight to the high platform.
On the dragon chair on the high platform, one of them was wearing a crown and a fiery red dress with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the skirt, sitting there coldly and majestically.
Although this group of people are all masters of various factions, the first feeling when entering the hall at this moment is an extremely strong sense of oppression and a powerful majesty that makes people hold their breath unconsciously.
In addition to the majestic aura that the eldest princess was born with and cultivated on the battlefield, there is also the unpredictable decoration and formation of this palace, which makes people feel a sense of fear unconsciously.
"Meet Your Highness!"
All the people from the five sects paid homage in unison, still tacitly addressing her as His Highness.
The new emperor Nangong Huoyue on the high platform glanced at them with majesty, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, such a big thing happened in the palace today, I think you all have a lot of thoughts in your mind, can you tell me to listen to it?" Listen? For example, my royal brother passed away suddenly, or for example, I was born as a daughter and suddenly ascended the throne as emperor, what do you think? I really want to hear your opinions."
Daoist Sun of Qingyun Temple clasped his palms together, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I am here today just to attend the wedding banquet. Other matters have nothing to do with us. Back then, we signed a contract with the imperial court with the five major sects. I don’t dare to discuss anything that interferes with the palace and the court, please forgive me, Your Highness.”
Elder Fang of Jinchan Temple also clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, if Your Highness wants to ask for opinions, you can ask the courtiers and clan relatives. We are all outsiders, so we dare not discuss government affairs indiscriminately."
The members of Xianyun Pavilion and Huashan School also bowed their heads in silence.
Nangong Huoyue's cheeks were covered by the beaded curtain of the crown, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly. She was silent for a while, looked at Fairy Zixia from Lingxiao Sect, and said lightly: "Zixia Does the suzerain have any opinions? I am all ears."
Fairy Zixia lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, I'm just a person who cultivates in the mountains and fields, and I dare not talk about government affairs."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes, and said: "I am a daughter, and now I am enthroned as emperor, I just want to know if your five sects can respect women. Or, like those people, you feel that women are never qualified to sit Take this position. No matter what her ability is, no matter whether she can make the country peaceful and the people of Dayan prosperous and strong!"
Everyone bowed their heads in silence and did not answer.
Nangong Huoyue waited for a while, then Fang laughed at himself and said, "I really thought too much."
After all, her majestic gaze suddenly turned to the figure standing at the back of the Ling Xiaozong crowd, and said in a cold voice: "Chu Feiyang, where is the wedding robe on your body?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Luo Qingzhou froze, cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Highness, since the marriage is over, I'm..."
"Who told you the marriage was over?"
Nangong Huoyue suddenly interrupted his words coldly, and the fiery red dragon robe on her body suddenly rose automatically without wind.
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly froze!
Everyone was shocked, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Fairy Zixia said: "Your Highness, His Majesty passed away today, and the death knell wailed, so the marriage will naturally be cancelled. And now that you have different identities, naturally you can no longer recruit a son-in-law."
Nangong Huoyue looked at her coldly and said: "Sect Master Zixia, there are funerals and happy events today. You must know that the marriage between your Ling Xiaozong and I was not forced by me to agree to it, it was the Queen Mother and my younger brother. , and you decided after discussing together, but you forced me at the beginning! What? Now that I have ascended the throne, you Ling Xiaozong are afraid that other sects will make irresponsible remarks, so you want to go back on your word?"
Fairy Zixia was silent for a while, and said: "Your Highness, you mean that you still want to..."
"I don't think so."
Nangong Huoyue looked at her majesticly and said: "It is this matter, you must give me an explanation! My life-long event is decided by you, and I have no choice but to agree. Now, if you say you regret it, you will regret it. Where is it placed?"
Fairy Zixia fell silent.
In the main hall, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what the newly enthroned empress meant.
At this time, Prince Duan, who had been standing silently beside him with his head bowed, suddenly said, "Sect Master Zixia, this matter is your fault. Since the marriage has been decided, it cannot be changed. How can you make fun of Your Majesty's reputation?" .Although there is a funeral today, the wedding cannot be held, but the bride and groom are here, why don't they simply worship the heavens and the earth first, assign their names, and wait until the funeral is over, and then make up the wedding banquet etiquette, what does the fairy think?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a look of astonishment on the faces of everyone.
Fairy Zixia frowned, looked at the majestic figure on the steps, and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid something is wrong with praying to heaven and earth today. If Your Highness is still willing to let this marriage continue, then wait until the national funeral is over, and then...
"Just today."
The majestic figure on the dragon chair suddenly said coldly, then looked at someone again, and ordered: "Put on the Xi robe!"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
