The general reception platform began to be built outside the capital city, but every time the army returned triumphantly from an expedition, the king personally led all the officials to greet him.
This time was no exception, but the entire government and the public could smell a surging undercurrent. Hearing that His Majesty the King didn't plan to welcome the army this time, but Qin Yue had someone privately set up a reception platform, the situation between the government and the opposition became extremely tense.
At this moment, the army is camping thirty miles outside the city, waiting for the welcome ceremony. Now everyone is guessing whether His Majesty the King will attend the reception platform on the day when the army enters the city. If he does not appear, then Qin Yue's move is undoubtedly to win over the military minister without authorization, which is a felony!
Moreover, people from Qin Yue's faction also became restless, and if they went out of the city to meet them, it would be a felony. But if he doesn't follow him out of the city, he will undoubtedly be kicked out of the front line. Anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Qin Yue, who has almost the support of all the military strength, is already winning.
Finally, three days later, the welcoming platform was set up, the sky was cloudless and the breeze was blowing.
Qin Yue took a bath and changed her clothes. She wore a brocade jade robe with five dragons playing with pearls, and a black bat-patterned rhinoceros belt tied around her waist.
His white eyes were still in white clothes, and he followed behind him with a light veil covering his face, his eyes showing a look of admiration and infatuation.
"His Highness Prince Yue, it seems that His Majesty will not come today." Master Xu said cautiously behind him.
Qin Yue's eyes turned to the imperial palace in the center of the capital, a gray image of death in the twilight.
According to the law of the kingdom, no building in the capital can be higher than the palace. But this time, the platform for welcoming the generals was purposely doubled in height, more than ten meters higher than the imperial palace. Looking around, the entire Tianshui Kingdom's rivers and mountains can be seen, which is very pleasant.
He smiled coldly, walked straight to the Nine Dragons throne prepared for Qin Zheng, sat down in front of all the officials, and said coldly: "Father is not in good health, today I will act on behalf of the Son of Heaven."
"Long live His Royal Highness Yue!" Master Xu hurried to the front, knelt down on both knees, and shouted.
This time, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. Such a brazen shout was obviously a serious crime of treason! But at this moment, no one is a fool. Knowing that the critical moment has arrived, they all knelt down and shouted together. Suddenly, the sound spread over the capital.
"Long live His Royal Highness Moon!"
"Long live His Royal Highness Moon!"
"..."
The faces of the ministers who hadn't left the capital all changed drastically, with extreme worry in their eyes.
Even the ordinary people on the road were horrified when they heard it, and seemed to have realized that something big was about to happen. The traffickers and pawns also closed their business one after another, and began to close the doors of the shops, and they all stayed behind closed doors and dared not come out.
Long Qing stood far above the city gate, looked at the towering general platform in the distance, sighed, turned around and said: "From now on, the whole city will be under martial law and enter the first-level control. No one is allowed to wear weapons on the streets. Don't gather crowds to make trouble, if there is any situation, kill first and play later!"
Lan Hong made a pot of tea in his small courtyard, drank it slowly, looked at the sky, and muttered to himself, "Has it finally started?"
Li Chunyang was also standing on the reception platform at the moment. He looked at a group of courtiers sycophanting and stood in line, and felt like he had eaten flies in his heart. He frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, is this not good?"
Qin Yue was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out her hand, stopped everyone's shouting, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop shouting! Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up." He turned his head and said: "Master Xu, this time Write down the list of all the officials who did not come to greet the general."
"Yes!" Master Xu hurriedly replied, his heart burst into ecstasy. Entrusting such an important matter to himself, he obviously regarded himself as a confidant, and immediately retreated happily.
The rest of the visiting ministers all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, secretly rejoicing, and at the same time sneered at the ministers who were about to be unlucky. In my mind, I was thinking about the seats that would be vacated, whether I could climb up or arrange some nephews to enter.
"Mr. Jingguo, how long do you think they will arrive?" Qin Yue couldn't restrain the joy in her heart, and asked with a smile.
Li Chunyang opened his consciousness, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There is still half an incense stick left."
"Okay! I'm here waiting for this historic moment!" Qin Yue rubbed her hands together, unable to calm down.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the audience, sarcastically saying: "What kind of historic moment makes you excited like a monkey, little brother?"
Everyone looked down one after another, only to see Qin Yang supporting Qin Zheng and staring at him coldly.
A eunuch screamed loudly: "Your Majesty is here, and you still have to come down to greet him!"
Everyone's faces were tense, and their eyes were fixed on Qin Yue, looking forward to him.
Qin Yue smiled coldly, and said loudly: "Father arrived, and it was too far to welcome him. Unfortunately, the platform is too high, and it is inconvenient to come down. Let the elder brother help the father to come up carefully, and then pay homage."
Qin Zheng's face was livid, he stared at Qin Yue like a poisonous snake, and said tremblingly: "Okay, okay, he is my good son!" With Qin Yang's support, he walked up the stage slowly, The audience was silent, without any sound, they were silently watching this historic moment.
Many ministers felt a sense of the twilight in their hearts. Once the emperor and the courtiers, a new generation replaced the old.
Li Chunyang also sighed slightly, feeling that he was really old. Recalling the days when I lived in harmony with Qin Zhengjun and his ministers, I feel sad in my heart.
Soon, Qin Zheng and others stepped onto the stage to welcome the general.
Qin Yang said in a cold voice: "Father has already come up, you still don't pay homage? Qin Yue, you should get up as well, right?"
Qin Yue snorted coldly, stood up from the dragon chair with great reluctance, and bowed down stiffly, "I see my father."
With his mobilization, all civil and military officials immediately knelt down and bowed down. Only Li Chunyang stood still, standing there like a statue. He is already in the realm of the Martial King, so he doesn't need to bow down.
Qin Zheng glanced at Li Chunyang with cloudy eyes, the gray hair on his temples seemed to have flashed a lot of loneliness, and then he carefully sat on the dragon chair with the support of several people.
Qin Ruxue also silently followed behind Qin Zheng. She was well aware of today's special situation. She was in the emperor's house, and sooner or later this scene would happen. She came out today, just wanting to meet Li Yunxiao. And no matter what in his heart, he still couldn't bear to watch his old father being humiliated by his own son.
"Get up," Qin Zheng said to the civil and military officials indifferently, "You are all fine."
No one knew what his words meant, but the loneliness and helplessness in them were so palpable that people couldn't help but sigh. A generation of kings who were once ambitious are now reaching the point of dying.
Finally, shortly after the king sat down, a dark cloud began to float over the clear sky. The ground began to tremble slightly with frequency, and dense figures of people appeared on the distant horizon. The big flags began to be erected and fluttered in the wind.
Qin Zheng sat on the dragon chair sluggishly, seemingly drowsy.
Qin Yue frowned, stepped forward and said, "Father, you can start now."
Only then did Qin Zheng come back to his senses slightly, and said softly: "Let's begin." His voice was extremely weak, and after he finished speaking, he began to fall into that comatose state again.
Qin Yue saw many small green dots in his cloudy eyes, smiled coldly in her heart, and at the same time gave Qin Yang a sarcasm, then walked to the front of the general reception platform, and said loudly: "Welcome to the beginning! "
Immediately, two pairs of armored cavalry in festive costumes began to blow their horns and slowly spread out towards the two sides. Several war drum carts were also pushed out from the middle, and two muscular wrestlers stood on the chariots, beating the big drums with all their might, and the sound was overwhelming!
Chen Dasheng and the others rode on their horses one by one, with extremely serious expressions on their faces. Everyone has exchanged information with Qin Yue, and today will be a day recorded in the history of Tianshui Kingdom.
Chen Zhen said excitedly, "Young Master Yun, you have made the most contribution this time, His Highness Qin Yue will at least make you a duke. Tsk tsk, that's two dukes for one family."
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "After he ascends the throne, I will leave Tianshui Kingdom."
"Why?" Chen Zhen exclaimed in surprise, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and fell silent.
Chen Dasheng glanced at him appreciatively, thinking to himself that Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, sooner or later he will turn into a real dragon.
Luo Yunshang's heart skipped a beat, and she became a little panicked. Could it be that the lord is leaving Tianshui Kingdom? She felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she quickly made up her mind that no matter where Li Yunxiao went, she would follow. In this case, at least not too far away from such an adult.
The 800,000 troops were all dressed in armor, shining dazzlingly in the sun, like an ocean of armor color, sweeping towards them. What followed was the killing spirit of the soldier, which made the civil and military officials on the stage feel extremely uncomfortable.
"stop!"
When the army arrived under the stage, Chen Dasheng shouted loudly, and the 800,000 troops stopped in unison. That neat pace is like a machine, and there is no mistake at all.
"Father!" Qin Yue shouted.
Only then did Qin Zheng come to his senses again, and with the support of Qin Yang and Qin Ruxue, he walked slowly to the front stage. Looking at the sea of silver armor under the stage, his eyes suddenly hurt.
He said softly in a hoarse voice: "I, I will lead all the civil and military officials here to welcome the triumphant army." He deliberately raised his voice, wanting to shout out loudly, but he was full of fatigue, only those strong fighters Only then can I hear clearly.
"Today is not only the day when the army defeats the enemy and returns home with great victory. It is also the time for Tianshui Kingdom to carry forward the past and usher in the future." Qin Zheng's words shocked everyone's hearts and became nervous.
His gaze seemed to recover a little, and he said loudly, "Here today, I want to announce the candidate for the crown prince!"
Qin Yue's complexion changed drastically, she stepped forward abruptly and shouted, "Slow down!"
