Today is the day when another new emperor is established. The Queen Mother looked at the busy palace people and felt inexplicably irritable, as if something was about to happen. She was afraid that Murongyi would disappear again like the previous few days. Some can't sit still.
"Follow Ai's family to Qianqing Palace." The queen mother stood up, she wanted to go and watch the little prince herself, and she couldn't let this bastard be instigated again.
Lu Shiming's treacherous minister, if their father and son hadn't encouraged A Yi behind his back, he wouldn't have sneaked away last time. Today is an important day, but she must not let A Yi's enthronement ceremony go wrong.
The Empress Dowager came to Qianqing Palace in a hurry, and seeing Murong Yi changing the dragon robe, she felt at ease, and looked at him with comforting eyes, "Ah Yi has really grown up, wearing this dragon robe is a kind of Indomitable momentum."
When the palace people heard the Queen Mother's voice, they all lowered their bodies and saluted.
"Get up, hurry up and get dressed for the emperor." The queen mother said with satisfaction, urging Murong Yi, "The auspicious time is coming soon, so hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time."
Murongyi's face was not very good-looking. He felt uncomfortable wearing the dragon robe, so he just wanted to take it off quickly. He hoped that Master Lu's words were true. Will Brother Huang really come back today? I hope that Brother Huang will not misunderstand him when he sees him like this, he really doesn't want to be an emperor at all.
"Empress Dowager, the auspicious time has come. All the adults in the front hall are waiting...the emperor is here." The eunuch came to pass the message, glanced at Mo Rongyi, thinking in his heart that when the real emperor would come back, the mother and son did not know what to do. There is no way out.
"Okay, let's go." The queen mother looked at Murongyi with a smile.
Murongyi walked over slowly, and whispered to the Queen Mother, "Mother, if you take this step, we will never turn back. It's still too late for you to stop now."
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face froze for a moment. She looked up at Murongyi who was already much taller than her. When she treated this son as a child, he was already so tall. "Ayi, Aijia I said I wouldn't regret it."
Since she decided to take this step, she had no intention of regretting it.
Murongyi's eyes were a little sad, "Mother..."
"When you become the emperor and enjoy the supreme rights, at that time, you will understand that what Aijia did today is for your own good." The queen mother said in a low voice.
"All you think about is rights..." If the queen mother thought of the emperor's brother at all, she would never do such a thing.
Murongyi felt very sad for his elder brother, and for the first time he felt unbearable guilt.
The queen mother smiled slightly, "Let's go, it's time for us to go to the main hall."
In the front hall, Qiu Yaozong, as the uncle of the country, led all the ministers to wait for Murongyi's arrival. Mr. Xu stood in the front with half-closed eyes, behind him were several ministers from the cabinet, and all the civil and military officials stood silently , The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely heavy.
They all knew that the Empress Dowager joined forces with the young prince to usurp the throne. At first they thought that the emperor's confidantes would definitely rise up to resist, but after so many days, the whole capital was peaceful, and many of the objecting courtiers were imprisoned. Let them all beat their hearts, wondering if something happened to the emperor as the queen mother said...
If nothing happened to the emperor, why is there no movement at all? What about the people in the dark guard? Aren't the imperial guards and city defenders both the emperor's confidantes? Was it bought by the queen mother
While everyone was making up their minds, the queen mother had already appeared on the phoenix seat above. Qiu Yaozong yelled loudly that the queen mother is a thousand years old, and the others glanced at the person opposite before kneeling down to salute.
The Empress Dowager glanced at everyone with satisfaction, "Everyone is in peace."
The Minister of Rites began to sing, "The enthronement ceremony begins."
Murongyi stood where he was and didn't want to move, he turned his head to look at the palace gate, why hasn't Brother Huang come yet? If he doesn't come again, he will complete the enthronement ceremony.
Master Lu clearly said that Brother Huang already knew everything about the capital, and now it is a critical moment, where is Brother Huang
"My lord, please hurry up." The eunuch behind Mo reminded him anxiously.
"What's the hurry?" Murong Yi scolded him angrily, and walked forward slowly.
Naturally, he was not in a hurry, it was better to delay as long as possible, so that Brother Huang could catch up. Murongyi walked step by step, looking back non-stop.
"Little prince!" The eunuch behind was about to cry, if the little prince didn't ascend the throne today, he would definitely be executed.
Murongyi clenched his fists tightly, and his steps became heavier and heavier.
He couldn't listen to a word of the libretto by Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the closer he got to the main hall, the uglier his face became.
The eyes of the ministers fell on him, and Murongyi felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole to bury himself. He was taken care of by the emperor's brother since he was a child. If there was no emperor's brother, he might have died a long time ago. Now he is taking advantage of it. Seeing Brother Huang do such a thing, he was so ashamed that he didn't want to be a human being anymore.
"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne." Qiu Yaozong reminded Murongyi in a low voice.
It was only then that Murongyi realized that the libretto had ended, and now everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to sit on the dragon chair.
"Ayi!" The queen mother looked at him sharply, and she did not allow him to disobey her orders at this time.
"Empress Mother, Brother Emperor will be back." Mo Rongyi raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, his eyes were a little red.
The Empress Dowager grasped the handle of the chair with both hands, and said in a surprisingly gentle voice, "Ayi, your imperial brother has disappeared and never returned. The temporary enthronement of you is only for the sake of the Kingdom of Jin. Don't be willful. You can't be willful at this time."
Murong Yi said, "Then go find Brother Huang! We will always find him."
"My lord, don't lose your temper at this moment. After you ascend the throne, you can send as many people as you want to look for it." Qiu Yaozong stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice.
The other ministers didn't say anything about it, Mr. Xu still half-closed his eyes and looked very leisurely, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, they still saw the young prince correctly.
The queen mother was so angry that her face was ashen. If she hadn't been in front of the ministers, she would have been furious.
"Ayi, don't make trouble, listen to what the queen mother said, when you ascend the throne, we will definitely go to your brother." The queen mother persuaded softly.
Murong Yi sat down directly on the floor, "I don't have the guts to sit on that chair if I don't hear from Brother Huang for a day."
The queen mother was so angry that she thought that Ah Yi had already figured it out, but who knew that he would actually be against her at this time, the queen mother gritted her teeth and said, "Are you trying to get mad at your family?"
"Queen mother, I don't want to anger you, it's just... I can't do anything to offend Brother Huang." Murongyi said in a low voice.
"You..." The queen mother's chest was sore, and her throat was so angry that a fishy sweetness rushed up.
