The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 145 Emperor's Heir ([-])

The capital of Luoshui Emperor gradually left the city, and the war finally ended.

Shops and restaurants lined up on the streets reopened, and street vendors shouted one after another.The people who were hiding at home and dare not go out also flooded the streets again, looking at the imperial list.

The two kings were executed for rebellion, and the empress dowager handed down the imperial seal to Princess Zhaohe.

The land of Luoshui unexpectedly produced a female emperor!
A group of people crowded in front of the emperor's list, and those who could read and write were squeezed in the front. They read the list over and over again, and then ran around telling each other, usually spreading the big news by storytelling.

It was only half a day's work, and the news that Luoshui's Chang Ji would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor was already known to everyone.

Luoshui and the Weishui River in the neighboring country come from the same vein, and both belong to the Yangze Shui Tribe.In the past, there was a female emperor in the Weishui River, and the people of the Weishui River who went to do business and study often looked reserved when they mentioned this matter.

It seems to be saying, we have a female emperor in Weishui, do you have one in Luoshui?

It seems a pity that such a rare event, which is rare for thousands of years, did not happen in my own home.At this time, a female emperor suddenly appeared, and there was a lot of bragging and comparison after dinner.

Ordinary people are more novel than disgusted with the empress' ascension to the throne.Furthermore, no matter who came to the throne, they should still be farmers, merchants, and craftsmen.Every day, we still have to plow the fields, run horses and boats, and earn a living.Didn't care much.

Courtiers and clans are not always the same.

The Shenshan clan and the Niechuan clan strongly supported Chang'an's ascension to the throne.The Cangyu clan and some of the Jin Ge clan strongly opposed it.Yangtu, Kanmu, Jiangliang, and other courtiers from the Jinge clan and the Han clan were neutral.

The neutral attitude is divided into three classes in this camp.

The Yangtu family did not participate in politics and did not say a word.is truly neutral.

The Kanmu clan and the Jiangliang clan are small clans among small clans. On the one hand is the empress who has already won the national seal and is about to ascend the throne, and on the other is the Cangyu clan who holds Luoshui's financial power and has a deep foundation. Neither of them dare to mess with them.Can only be silent.

The other part of the Jin Ge clan and the Han clan's courtiers took a wait-and-see attitude and were ready to make fools of themselves at any time.

Right minister Cang Yubo had already come out from the secret passage in the palace at this time.

When King Chuan'an broke through the Tai'an Palace, he and the Queen Mother hid in the secret passage of the palace to take refuge, only waiting for the battle for the succession to subside, and then come out when all the officials enter the court to pay homage to the new emperor.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no matter which one Yu Bin or Nan Jing seized the throne, they must respect the queen mother as their aunt, let alone dare to do anything to the dignified right prime minister.

Unexpectedly, Shenshan Mansion invaded Tai'an Palace and supported Chang Po to seize the throne of Luoshui.The secret way to hide was also broken by the officers and men of Shen Shan Mansion. The two brothers and sisters, one is the queen mother and the other is the right minister, like escaped criminals, they were searched out by all the soldiers of Shen Shan Mansion.The description is very embarrassing.

The overall situation has been decided, Chang Wei took over the jade seal of Chuanguo, and wore mourning clothes in the Zhai Palace.The first emperor Duan Ji passed away, and as the new successor Chang Ji, according to the custom, he had to mourn in the fasting palace for 27 days before ascending the throne as the rightful emperor.

During the 27 days of mourning, the affairs of the government were temporarily represented by the central cabinet.Cangyu Bo took advantage of this opportunity, and on the third day of Duan Zhi's funeral, he entered the Zhai Palace with all the officials to worship Duan Zhi.

After the ministers worshiped and saluted outside the main hall of the Zhai Palace, Cang Yubo knelt outside the main hall in front of the ministers, and loudly said to the hall: "His Royal Highness Princess Zhaohe worked hard to save the king. She has made great achievements and should be honored by the subjects." Worship. At that time, there was great chaos in the palace, and the Empress Dowager was very old, so it was difficult to protect the national seal from the bad guys, so she handed over the national seal to His Royal Highness for safekeeping. Today, the late emperor has a great funeral, and all the officials are present. Please return the Royal Highness Princess Zhaohe to the kingdom. Xi, waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne."

Chang Ji was alone in the main hall of the Zhai Palace. She knelt on the futon in the middle of the hall, facing the spiritual tablets of the previous emperors and relatives of Luoshui, her cold eyes slightly lowered, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

The ministers didn't expect that Cangyu Bo would attack him face to face, so they didn't dare to speak for a while, and there was a dead silence inside and outside the hall.

Cang Yubo knelt outside the hall, and bowed again: "I ask Your Royal Highness Princess Zhaohe to return the imperial seal."

The officials of the Cangyu clan who followed behind him knelt down one after another, and they all knelt down to ask Chang Wei to return the imperial seal.

Chang Ji remained motionless, kneeling upright in front of the coffin without turning her head. Her indifferent voice sounded in the empty hall: "Master Zuo, do you also think that I should return the Imperial Seal?"

The left minister, Nie Chuanzhen, immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is the third daughter of the former emperor. Empress Jingshan was born, and Empress Huixian raised her. Her status is so precious that no one among the princes and daughters can compare. Your Majesty will rescue the king and put down the rebellion of the two kings. Turning the tide, the merits and virtues are so high that no one in ancient and modern times can match. The Empress Dowager knows very well that Your Majesty is a valuable character and is worthy of the great responsibility of governing the country. It is the hope of all and the request of all people to pass on the Imperial Seal to Your Majesty. I respectfully invite Your Majesty to come to the court. "

Behind her, all the officials of the Nie Chuan Clan also knelt down and respectfully invited Chang Ji to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi led all the soldiers and officials of Shen Shanfu to kneel down together and shouted "Long live Your Majesty!" three times.The momentum is high and the voice is loud.

Chang Ji got up from the futon and walked slowly to the door of the hall. The dazzling sunlight passed through the door and projected obliquely on the ground inside the hall.As she walked step by step, the sunlight shot up from her feet inch by inch, illuminating her snow-white face and cold eyebrows.

She walked out of the hall door and stood still under the eaves.

Seeing her coming out, Yangtu, Kanmu, Jiangliang, Jin Ge and a group of officials from the Han tribe didn't dare to stand still even though they were neutral, they all hurriedly knelt down together.

Chang Wei strolled down the stone steps in front of the hall, stopped in front of Cang Yubo and said, "Your Prime Minister, just now I listened to you and asked me to return the Imperial Seal to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne. I don't know what the Right Prime Minister wants to support. A royal family member?"

The four princes under Emperor Chu's knees have all died in Huangquan now. If the prince must ascend the throne, he can only adopt one of the offspring of the royal family under the name of Emperor Chu or Duan Ji.However, Luoshui's successive emperors changed, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, the uncles and brothers who were closely related by blood had to be cleaned up with blood.

Counting from Emperor Chu's generation, after Emperor Chu came to the throne, almost all his close brothers died or were disabled.The clan members who survived safely were all princes whose mothers were not from Luoshui.Because of their impure bloodlines, they were not qualified to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperors, so they would not pose a threat to the throne.
