They all say I'm a puppet

In the fourth year of the Expedition, Yuan Shuo Day was the first day of the year, and Concubine Lin's empress ceremony was set on this day, as if to indicate that this year was not destined to be peaceful.

Because Shou Sui slept very late the night before, Cang Lin felt as if he had just closed his eyes when the steward's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, there is a grand ceremony today, you should get up."

Cang Lin slowly opened his eyes, turned his face to the side and just saw Fu Yu sleeping on his arm with his side pillow, his eyelashes trembling slightly with his breathing, and he didn't wake up at all because of the sound of the manager just now.

Cang Lin hooked his lower lip, leaned over to press a kiss on his face, then carefully withdrew his arm, supported Fu Yu to lie back on the pillow, and then rolled over and got out of bed. Because of his movement, Fu Yu's face The laces of the clothes had long been unraveled in sleep, and the traces of the previous night also showed up, falling into Cang Lin's eyes.

Cang Lin stared at it for a while, then turned his head and glanced at the door.On the first day of the new year, I really should have a good sleep with my arms around Fuyu, maybe after Fuyu has slept enough, I can coax him to continue the tenderness of the night before.Instead of braving the cold wind in the early morning to leave this warm room and brave the wind and frost to enter the palace.

And without thinking about it, he knew that what was waiting for him in the palace today would not be a good thing no matter what.

It was only because of this that he had to enter the palace.If he missed the Empress Licensing Ceremony, all the previous efforts would be in vain.

Cang Lin stretched out his hands to cover Fu Yu with the quilt, and smoothly covered the bed curtain, then sighed a long time, got up and opened the door for the steward.

After washing and changing into the court clothes and going out, the sky was still not bright, and the snow that had fallen all night finally stopped, leaving behind a thick layer of snow, and the carriage ran over it, leaving deep ruts.

The atmosphere of the New Year’s Eve of the previous night still lingered in the city, probably because everyone kept the New Year’s Eve, so they didn’t see any pedestrians all the way to the gate of the city. The carriage was put in.

Compared with the desertedness of the capital, all the people in the imperial city have woken up from their sleep and are busy with the final preparations for the grand ceremony.All the way to the Hall of Martial Arts, you can see palace people coming and going everywhere, each of them has been tossing for two months for this grand empress ceremony, for fear that if there is even the slightest mistake today, not to mention their own lives, they will be implicated outside the palace family.

Cang Lin was delayed for a while when he got up, and when he arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts, it was only a quarter of an hour before the grand ceremony began. The courtiers had already arrived, and they were all waiting outside the main hall, waiting for the grand ceremony to start.Cang Lin walked through the crowd all the way to his position, his gaze casually glanced over the faces of those passing by, and he smiled a little when he saw Wu Ying, Wu Ying also nodded in response, between the eyes meeting, Cang Lin saw Wu Yingchao He blinked, hooked his lips, and walked to his place.

It was within Cang Lin's expectation that the crown prince still did not appear, but what he did not expect was that the King of Chu hadn't arrived yet, and it was rare to see their brothers being so united, which was amazing.

Maybe He Hongyi really has the opportunity to remove all the threats in his heart on this day.

After all, it was still winter, and the weather was still very cold. Even though I was wrapped in a cloak, I could still feel the biting cold wind.After all, Cang Lin arrived late, and he was always in good health, so he didn't feel much.On the contrary, some old and frail ministers shivered in the cold wind, as if they might fall to the ground at any time.

Fortunately, not long after, the imperial chariot slowly stopped at the entrance of the hall. He Hongyi and the newly promoted Empress Lin stepped up and down the imperial chariot one after another. He stopped for a while, and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Where are the crown prince and the king of Chu?"

Cang Lin looked into his eyes. On such a day, the Crown Prince and the King of Chu did not appear, but there was no surprise in his eyes, as if all this was within his expectation.

Someone stepped forward to reply in a low voice, and He Hongyi nodded indifferently: "The time has come, let's start the ceremony first, and let's talk about the rest after the ceremony is over."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

There is always a complicated process for such a grand ceremony, but for the onlookers like Cang Lin, all they have to do is stand quietly by the side and be a witness, witnessing the first grand ceremony after the opening of the dynasty, and they also have to witness Everything that happened that day.

Everything went smoothly at first, and the process went down one by one, until the moment when the queen's phoenix seal and the canonization document were taken out, something happened.The originally closed door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Dozens of guards rushed into the main hall and surrounded the civil and military officials standing in the hall. Holding a long sword, he walked slowly into the hall. Behind him was the pale-faced King of Chu.

He Hongyi got up from the dragon chair, looked down at He Zheqi who was slowly walking into the center of the hall, and said coldly: "Today is your mother's grand ceremony, and your brothers are late to mention it, and you have made such a big gesture , what do you mean?"

When He Zheqi heard the word "mother's queen", he showed a clear contemptuous expression, and even let out an undisguised chuckle. His eyes turned from He Hongyi's face to Empress Lin beside him: "Mother's queen? My mother's queen has already A few years ago, he died on the walls of the imperial city with dozens of members of our He family, all ordered by the emperor himself, have you forgotten?" After finishing speaking, he paused and looked down. Glancing at the long sword on his waist, "As for the purpose of our brother's visit today? Isn't it obvious? Father, you are getting old, and you have begun to discriminate between good and evil, loyalty and evil. If things go on like this, it will be detrimental to me in the long run. To abdicate as soon as possible is to give me a way out for Da Zhou."

"Don't distinguish between good and evil, and don't distinguish between loyalty and evil?" He Hongyi suddenly laughed loudly, "Yes, being confronted with a knife by one's own parents and children, it is true that the older you get, the more confused you become." He lowered his head slightly and looked at He Hongyi. Zhe Qi glanced at He Yinzhi who was beside him, "You brothers have been fighting for two or three years, and at this moment you actually stand in the same camp. I really don't know whether I should be relieved or heartbroken? It's just that it's easy for me to abdicate. , but I have four sons, even if the fourth prince is young and the third prince is a concubine, as far as you two are concerned, who will sit on the throne?"

The expression on He Yinzhi's face froze for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at He Zheqi beside him, but was patted on the arm as if to comfort him.He Zheqi raised his head and looked at He Hongyi who was above the high position: "That's a matter between us brothers, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it anymore. What's more, we came today not only for the throne, but also for the throne." For the whole family that died because of your words in the imperial city that day. Several years have passed, and it is time for us two brothers to give them an explanation."

"The whole family that lost their lives that day was not only yours, but also mine. Among them were my first wife, my youngest son, and my slaves who had been with me for decades. Do you think I don't feel heartbroken? Blade Enemies, to comfort their souls in heaven, what else do you have to explain?" He Hongyi raised his voice slightly and asked.

He Zheqi let out a cold smile: "Father still refuses to admit that the person who killed the whole family was actually you? That day, under the city wall, they threatened the lives of dozens of members of my He family. Did the emperor ever have the slightest bit of hesitation and hesitation?" He Zheqi lowered his eyes slightly, "From then on, I knew that in the heart of my father, any kind of kinship is really very thin." As he said, he raised his eyes to look at the beautiful woman in her suit. Convinced, Queen Lin who was blocked by He Hongyi, "Don't think that he loves you today and spoils you, as well as your evil son who shouldn't have come to this world, but if, when you are against his ambition, his world He will still give up on you without hesitation."

After finishing speaking, He Zheqi suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and said to He Hongyi who was on the dragon chair, "If you don't believe me, let's try it today."

A cold light shone on the blade, pushing the swords above the hall to the peak.The courtiers, who had been quiet and ignorant all this time, finally came to their senses belatedly. Some one mustered up the courage to shout: "Is His Royal Highness trying to force the palace to rebel?"

He Zheqi turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke, with a smile on his lips: "Your Majesty Qi really has good eyesight, and I didn't realize my purpose until now? As a prince, the throne will sooner or later It should be mine, and you, sooner or later, will be my subjects, so, today, our brothers are only here to settle some family matters with my father, and have no intention of hurting all the subjects. You just need to be a quiet spectator today, I promise In the future, no matter which one of our two brothers sits on the throne, it will not implicate you."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, the smile on his face dissipated, and he became extraordinarily indifferent, with a faint killing intent in his eyes: "But Ruo, who insists on getting involved in our family affairs?" , these swords and swords around here may not be eye-catching, and if you accidentally hurt someone, don't blame me for being ruthless."

His eyes swept over the faces of those courtiers one by one, and finally turned back to He Hongyi's face slowly: "Father, it's up to you to make a decision. After all, you and I are father and son, and we brothers don't want to do that." As long as the father kills the witch and her evil son who bewitched the Sacred Heart himself, we brothers promise that we will regard the father as the Supreme Emperor in the future, so that the father will not only stop worrying about state affairs, but also be able to Take care of your life."
