After usurping the throne, he died

??Mu Xiang stayed in Weiyang Palace for four or five nights.

?? From what Shang Xi thought was absurd at the beginning to now being numb, he is used to acquiescing to the fact that his master stays in Weiyang Palace every day after dinner.

?? For this reason, Weiyang Palace also bought a lot of things. Mu Xiang was afraid of the cold and his stomach was hot, so he added a lot of ice cubes to the floor of Weiyang Palace, and even the bed was covered with thick layers of bedding, because Mu Xiang liked it. It's soft, there are a little more decorations, and the crimson curtain...

??Mu Xiang spent the night at Shihe's place on the first day, and then returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation on the second night, always finding it difficult to fall asleep.

??Even if I fell into a shallow sleep, there was such a tired look on my brows and eyes, I would wake up after less than two hours of sleep, and my nightmares continued.

?? However, Weiyang Palace had been unoccupied for a long time, and there were a lot of mosquitoes, so Mu Xiang got up the next day with a bag all over her body.

?? He was a little uncomfortable at first, thinking that he would let Shi He fall asleep in such a tortured place, but after observing for a day, he even forcibly rolled up Shi He's sleeves, and found that there was not a single bulge on his body.

??Mu Xiang had no choice but to get someone to install a curtain for himself. As for why it is red——then I have to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

??Today is a grand day. The new emperor ascends the throne. Some people are happy and some are worried.

??Wearing a golden robe, Mu Xiang was paying homage to his ancestors at the altar. Shi He was standing on the right side, looking at the stone statue of Yadi lightly.

??Mu Xiang glanced at him sideways, feeling a little uncomfortable.

??If Shi He was looking at him...

??Shi He's eyes suddenly moved away from the stone statue, and when they met his eyes, Mu Xiang was stunned for a second and looked away unnaturally.

??He suppressed the strangeness in his heart—in fact, it was more than once, and the idea of ​​wanting the other party's full attention to him became stronger every day.

??The courtiers behind him looked serious, kneeling on the ground in order of official positions, solemn and solemn, while the rightful lord, Mu Xiang, was restless thinking about other things.

??Shi He seemed to see that he was absent-minded, and took out three rhinoceros incense sticks from the incense table, and handed them to Mu Xiang: "Your Highness, please."

??Mu Xiang noticed his address, and it was still the same as before.

??He frowned slightly, didn't say anything, just took the rhinoceros incense and lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

??Shi He brought a plate covered with silk and satin embroidered with golden dragons. When it was opened, it was the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo.

??He said to Mu Xiang: "Your Highness, please drip blood into the longan."

??The material of Xiangguo Chuanguo Yuxi is very strange. Although it is jade, it sucks blood. After the blood enters the longan, it will be slowly absorbed by the jade, which means that the ancestors have recognized the identity of the new emperor.

??On the contrary, the blood will be discharged from the tail of the dragon...

??Ministry Minister Jiang Cheng knelt on the ground with all the courtiers, but just when Mu Xiang was about to bite his finger, he quietly raised his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

?? As long as Chuan Guo Yuxi does not recognize Mu Xiang's blood, then there is still room for change...

??But in the next second, he broke out in a cold sweat. The national teacher suddenly looked at him. Although his brows and eyes were indifferent, he could clearly see a hint of warning.

??Mu Xiang didn't pay attention to the expressive look between these two people. Biting his fingers is quite difficult, especially since he is afraid of pain.

??His heart was cruel, and he bit it hard with his sharp teeth on the left side, and he finally managed to bleed.

?? He put his fingertips on the longan, and a drop of blood slowly gathered on his fingertips, slowly dripped as the weight increased, and swung around the longan for a while.

??Mu Xiang frowned. He didn't know if it was the pain, or because the blood from the longan hadn't been inhaled.

?? "Master of the State—" Jiang Cheng couldn't hide the joy on his face. He raised his head and was about to speak, but was blocked by Shi He's cold eyes.

?? "Worship is such an important occasion, how can you speak lightly?"

??Shi He said coldly: "Come here, invite Jiang Shangshu out of this place."

??Everyone was stunned. The scene was instantly quieter than before. All the ministers even tightly controlled their sleeves, for fear that they would be invited out by the national teacher after being blown by the wind.

?? Mu Xiang was also a little surprised. Although he knew that Jiangcheng would definitely make trouble, he never expected that Shihe would help him solve the problem.

?? When Jiang Cheng was invited out, he still reluctantly turned his head three times to see the back of Grand Master Song Jin who was kneeling at the top.

?? Unfortunately, Song Jin didn't have the slightest intention to intercede with him.

?? In a few moments, the drop of blood was inhaled by Longan, and even Mu Xiang, who was standing closest, couldn't see where the blood went.

??As the national teacher personally appointed by Emperor Yadi, Shi He doesn't need to salute anyone.

??But he still bent slightly and lowered his eyes at the moment when the blood entered the longan: "Long live my emperor."

??Mu Xiang took the jade seal, took a deep breath and looked back, the audience was in unison: "Congratulations, my emperor, long live my emperor!"

?? Thousands of people in unison, one can imagine what a spectacular scene it is.

?? But Muxiang's empty heart was not filled at all.

??Obviously he already has the supreme authority, all the people in the audience are his subjects, and all the people in Xiangguo are his subjects——

?? But he is still unwilling.

??Mu Xiang looked at Shi He beside him. What he wanted most was Shi He's submission.

??…

??The enthronement ceremony was finally over, and the next thing was for the new emperor to entertain the courtiers. The Hall of Supreme Harmony had been set up early, and when everyone was seated, the well-dressed court ladies entered one by one with delicacies.

??Shi He's seat is on the right side of Mu Xiang's lower head, at the same table as him.

??In the past, when Mu Huaihe was in power, if he entertained his courtiers, Shihe would either not be present, or he would taste the delicacies alone in the screen behind the high hall, never showing himself in front of others.

??But now that Mu Xiang is on the throne, Shi He has made an exception.

??Everyone had different thoughts, and when they thought about Jiang Cheng, who had scolded Mu Yu's faction during the worship, they all began to re-evaluate the status of the new emperor in their hearts.

?? If he had the support of the national teacher that Mu Huaihe did not have, then no one would be able to shake Mu Xiang's throne without accident.

??Mu Xiang raised his wine glass and said to His Highness, "Everyone, do whatever you want."

??Except for Shi He, everyone raised their wine glasses and clinked glasses with Mu Xiang in the air, including Jiang Cheng who was invited out of the altar in front.

?? However, Song Jin was not there. He took a leave of absence because he was unwell, and returned home first.

??Mu Xiang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and lifted the chopsticks first.

??Since it is a banquet, singing and singing are naturally indispensable. Dancing girls in light red gauze dresses enter the venue one by one, swaying gracefully, accompanied by the melodious sound of flutes approaching slowly from outside the hall.

??The flute has a melodious and pleasant tone, like the chirping of a magpie, or the affectionate confession of a girl in spring.

??Mu Xiang only raised his head and glanced lightly, and a light blue figure walked up to His Highness slowly while blowing Xiao Xiao.

??He didn't even see whether the other party was a man or a woman, so he turned around and gave Shi He a dish with chopsticks, and the latter ate it calmly.

??Shang Xihou was very calm on the side, just thinking that luckily the prime minister is not here, otherwise he might be so angry that his hair would fall out.

??As soon as the dance was over, Wen Yingzhuo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, saw that Mu Xiang's eyes rarely shifted to the audience, so he stood up and raised his wine glass to point at the new emperor: "I respect your majesty."

??Mu Xiang raised her eyes when she heard the words, and raised her freshly filled wine glass to drink with him.

??Wen Yingzhuo implicitly expressed his intentions: "This girl is Wen Yingruan, the younger sister of the family. She is the best at blowing the flute. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"..." Mu Xiang actually didn't listen much at all, he glanced at Shi He, and the other party still had the same expression as before.

?? He paused before saying: "Not bad."

?? While saying this, he also looked at Wen Yingruan in the audience. He was dressed differently from ordinary women. He was dressed in a more heroic style. He was dressed in Tsing Yi, and his hair was pinned back with a wooden hairpin. His eyebrows and eyes were charming, and his lips were slightly Yang is like a seductive goblin.

"May I ask Your Majesty, which passage do you think is the most beautiful?" Wen Yingruan boldly spoke out, her voice gentle and soft.

??Mu Xiang looked at her indifferently. After all, it was a woman. After a few seconds, her cheeks blushed and she turned her head slightly.

??Mu Xiang can roughly guess Wen Yingzhuo's intentions. Wen Yingzhuo is now the only important official standing on his side, so he naturally wants to "get closer and closer". The power of the family is afraid that no one will be allowed.

?? "Xiao Yin is mellow, but it lacks a little softness." Mu Xiang didn't answer, "But there are still rewards."

?? He rewarded Zhi Qingchai extremely perfunctorily. Seeing this, Wen Yingruan gritted her teeth and looked at her family members, and retreated unwillingly under his soothing eyes.

??The courtiers had different thoughts, and they began to make their own calculations again.

??The new emperor, Mu Xiang, is getting old. It's time to marry a concubine, but because he was a prince who was not valued before, and his mother and concubine have passed away, there is no one to prepare for him in the backyard.

??I originally thought that the Queen's position must belong to the heroic family who sent Mu Xiang to the top, but now it seems that this is not the case.

??Wen Yingruan's beauty is unique in the capital. Even the children in the capital know that the daughter of the Wen family is beautiful, but Mu Xiang remains unmoved...

??Either, he has no intention of female sex, or, he does not want the Wen family to become too powerful.

??So in an instant, everyone became active and toasted to Mu Xiang one by one.

?? Seeing that Mu Xiang drank several cups in succession, Shi He said, "Your Highness's wounds haven't healed yet, drinking too much will hurt you."

??Mu Xiang doesn't drink well. Because of his weak health, he doesn't have much chance to drink.

?? Listening to Shi He's persuasion at this moment, I feel a little unhappy for no reason.

?? "Is the master of the National Normal University caring about students so much in the past?"

??Shi He stated the facts: "The prince has nothing to worry about."

??Mu Xiang was even more unhappy——Wei Shihe still called him His Highness, Wei Shihe said that Mu Yu had nothing to worry about, and Wei Shihe still called Mu Yu the prince.

??Even though he was the one who first called Mu Yu the prince, but drunk people just don't make sense.

??Mu Xiang stubbornly asked Shang Xi to fill up the wine glass: "I respect the Master Guoshi for a glass."

"..." Shi He raised his wine glass and said slowly, "This glass is here to honor Your Highness—"

?? "If you are above the throne, I hope His Highness can be a prosperous and wise king."

?? Mu Xiang's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and his eyes cleared up a lot.

??He naturally knows that this seat is not easy to sit in. After all, there are only a few people who have recited it through the ages, and most of them have left a bad reputation for thousands of years.

?? Just based on his attempt to usurp the throne, history books do not know how it will be recorded, and how future generations will evaluate it.

??But although he was indeed unscrupulous in his actions, he never thought of making fun of Xiangguo's future.

?? "Gu will try his best."

??Mu Xiang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, not noticing the strange light in Shi He's eyes.

??After drinking for three rounds and getting a little more drunk, the clips of the ministers' words were opened, and the Hubu Shangshu stood up unsteadily, and said to the new emperor: "Your Majesty, the Weiyang Palace has been empty for a long time, and it is easy for no one to take care of it. Weeds are growing..."

?? The implication of these words is naturally no one understands.

?? Many emperors have experienced this matter of courtiers urging marriage, let alone Mu Xiang who has two harems in twenty but no concubine.

??Mu Xiang subconsciously looked at Shi He without thinking about it, feeling guilty that he couldn't explain it himself.

??Shang Xi stood beside him, sighing in his heart.

??Who said that the Weiyang Palace has been empty for a long time? No, your respected Master Guoshi is living here...
