Lord Prime Minister

At noon, the bells and drums sounded, and the civil and military officials who had stood in front of the Meridian Gate all morning swept away all fatigue and stood up straight.

The father-in-law with the whisk in his hand glanced at the sky and announced in a shrill voice.

"The enthronement ceremony, begin."

All the officials were serious, but the first to walk in was a group of soldiers in bronze armor. A team of more than a thousand people broke into the Meridian Gate and surrounded it heavily. Everyone panicked and murmured.

What followed was the enthroned team, and the one walking in the front was the new emperor, wearing bright yellow gown robes, but the color of the gown gowns was a bit abnormal today.The one following behind the emperor was not the father-in-law who was familiar with enthronement matters, but a general in military uniform with a knife hanging on his waist, with an expression on his face that should not be approached by strangers.

There is something wrong with today's enthronement ceremony.

From a distance, Baiguan noticed something strange.

It wasn't until the new emperor approached that the few people standing at the end of the line saw clearly the abnormally colored gown robe and the real appearance of the emperor, with horror on their faces.

"That...that's not the emperor!" An official exclaimed, and just as he finished speaking, several soldiers appeared immediately, ignoring the official's resistance, and dragged him out of the Meridian Gate.

The official wailed and begged for mercy all the way, and finally stopped abruptly. Everyone on the left and right knew what happened. Even if someone questioned the emperor's true identity, he did not dare to show it. .

No one dared to speak, and even their breathing slowed down. The arena was terribly quiet.Huangfu Yunhua approached slowly along the royal road, the originally bright yellow gown on his body was stained red with blood, and the faint smell of blood spread along his steps little by little.

Everyone could clearly see the blood on his body. Apart from the shock in their eyes, this new emperor who was wearing blood and ascended the throne was full of evil spirits, leaving an eternal memory in everyone's hearts.The impact was so great that today's scene has been circulated in the Daguang Empire for a hundred years. During Huangfu Yunhua's reign, no one dared to say anything against it.

Mu Zihuai knelt on the side of the royal road, and his heart was as shocked as anyone. No matter if the prince ascended the throne in such a way, it was self-evident who had the blood on his body.And Long Xiu, who was standing behind the prince and had been acting as a guard, also brought a shock to Mu Zihuai.

Huangfu Yunhua stopped in front of Mu Zihuai, and Mu Zihuai quietly raised his head as if sensing him, and just in time saw the prince looking at him.

No, it should be the emperor now.

When Huangfu Yunhua saw Mu Zihuai looking at him, his heart seemed to open the valve all of a sudden, and the joy that had been suppressed in his heart since just now burst out and filled his whole body.

He couldn't help grinning, the smile reached his eyes, and he looked a little childish.

Mu Zihuai was stunned, the smell of blood still lingered on the tip of his nose, the man in front of him had just killed his brother, and was smiling at himself wearing blood-stained clothes.

It made him stare dumbfounded.

For the first time, Mu Zihuai had the idea of ​​staying behind, as if all the pain he had suffered before had been dissipated, only for the person in front of him to stay.

Huangfu Yunhua smiled heartily, and the father-in-law behind him saw that the new emperor had not moved, fearing that the auspicious time would be delayed, he boldly raised his voice to remind him.Only then did Huangfu Yunhua put away his smile and continue walking towards Fengtian Hall.

The gods and the rankings of the ancestors of the past dynasties have been prepared on the incense table, and Huangfu Yunhua worshiped them one by one.Si Tianjian handed over the enthronement edict, which was read out by the new emperor himself.

"In Xia Bingwu in the 56th year of Guangcheng, the emperor's minister Min dared to use Xuanmu to declare to the God of the Emperor, and the God of the Earth: Great Light has the world, and the history is boundless. Min is not virtuous, afraid of the throne of the emperor, and asked the common people, saying the destiny You must not answer, the ancestral property cannot be replaced for a long time, and the world cannot be without a master. Leading the earth like looking forward, in Min alone. Min fears the power of the sky, and fears that the great light will be lost to the earth. Choose a good day, and climb up with Bailiao The altar is subject to the emperor's seal and ribbon. It is similar to the great god. Only the great god will enjoy it! Zuo Yu Daguang, it will always be in the world."

After saying nothing, all the courtiers knelt down and bowed, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The sound penetrated the Meridian Gate and spread outside the Fengtian Gate.

The little eunuch who had been waiting at the Meridian Gate after receiving the order found a gap, ran all the way to Kunning Palace, and stumbled in.

The queen was doing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, and the joy on her face was frightened away by the reckless little eunuch.

"Why are you in such a panic? Didn't you ask me to help the palace watch the new emperor's enthronement? What's the matter?" According to the rules of the palace, when the emperor ascends the throne, all the female relatives need to avoid it. The queen has no choice but to take pictures of the little eunuch beside her Come back and tell yourself.

"Empress! The one who ascends the throne, the one who ascends the throne is not the Second Highness!" The little eunuch knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, with panic on his face, he almost blurted out screaming.

"What?" The queen put down the pearl hairpin in her hand, and stared at the little eunuch. "What's going on? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will have your mouth ripped off!"

The little eunuch was startled, and he stumbled and said, "It's His Highness Fifth. The person who came to the Meridian Gate to ascend the throne is His Highness Fifth. He is wearing a robe and covered in blood. If anyone objects, he will be dragged out and executed on the spot." .”

"Yunhua?" The queen stood up, with a fierce light in her eyes. "What about the second prince? Where is he?"

"Small, I don't know."

"Useless things!" The queen rolled up the long clothes at her feet, bypassed the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and went out, heading straight to the East Palace.

Before entering the door, I saw a few court ladies and eunuchs busy in and out. When I got closer, I saw that they were wiping the ground. The handkerchief that had wiped the ground was soaked in water, staining a basin of water red.

The queen's heart shook, her whole body seemed to be hit hard, she almost couldn't stand still, and the hand holding the robe trembled faintly.

"Where's Huangfu Yunhua? Where is he? Where is he!"

The palace maid holding the water trembled in fright, spilled the water in the basin on the ground, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

The empress's eyes were even brighter, and regardless of the persuasion of the maid behind her, she plunged into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The closed door was forcefully opened from the outside. Huangfu Yunhua was changing with only an inner coat on his body, blood-stained gowns were piled up messily on the ground.

Stung by the blood on her clothes, the queen took a few steps forward and almost fell on Huangfu Yunhua. "Where's your brother? Where did you get your brother?"

Huangfu Yunhua was about to reprimand the person who broke in suddenly, but when he looked back, it turned out to be the queen, and said nicely, "Mother, why are you here?"

"Where's your brother? What's wrong with him?" The queen turned a deaf ear and just asked.

Huangfu Yunhua's face changed slightly, and there was a coldness in his eyes. "died."

"What?" the queen yelled, as if she couldn't believe it, she shook Huangfu Yunhua twice. "It's you! You killed your brother! You killed your brother!"

Huangfu Yunhua's expression completely cooled down, and he stroked the queen away. "Have we killed fewer brothers?"

"You! He is your own brother! How could you kill him so cruelly!" The queen was emotionally overwhelmed, stepped back a few steps, and screamed while shaking her head.

"Mother, although my brother died, I became the emperor, and I ascended the throne, isn't it the same?" Huangfu Yunhua slightly softened his voice, trying to persuade her.

But the queen just kept muttering to herself, completely ignoring what Huangfu Yunhua said.

The new emperor frowned slightly when he saw her, and called a few guards. "Come here, send the queen mother back to rest."

Mu Zihuai walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation nervously. When he entered the door, he saw a few court ladies rushing out holding blood-stained clothes. He took a deep breath and stood at the door to report.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to summon my minister?"

The new emperor's voice was a little high, revealing a slight joy. "come in."

Mu Zihuai walked in with his head down, and saw Huangfu Yunhua wearing a deep white coat with a delicate five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his chest, looking majestic and majestic.

Huangfu Yunhua waved his hand to let all the maids and eunuchs go out, looking at Mu Zihuai with more joy in his eyes, his body leaned forward slightly, and said mysteriously:

"Zihuai, do you want to be prime minister?"
