C383 Ascending the Throne
Yu Longzi stopped in his tracks and slightly tilted his head. "How can I trust you? Someone who harmed my husband and my own father?"
"His Royal Highness has something on me!" Jiang Yingxue ran a few steps and caught up with him. "If I don't listen to his Royal Highness, his Royal Highness can threaten me. If his Royal Highness wants to find another woman, there is no girl I can be so at ease with."
"You should be glad that it made me a little interested." Yu Longzi's lips curled up slightly. Since he could overthrow Yu Longtang, even if you become the Emperor, you might not be able to get down from that position.
"Farewell, Your Highness." Jiang Yingxue's face had a new smile. Looking at Yu Longzi's back, she felt a little relieved.
The dividing line.
The new Emperor ascended to the throne and the entire country celebrated.
Early in the morning, the sonorous sound of the golden bell in the palace spread throughout the imperial capital.
The number of times the golden bell rang expressed what had happened in the palace.
Entering from the Profound Path, it was the majestic Praetorian Guard. Standing on both sides of the red carpet, it did not move at all, just like a sculpture.
The steps to the imperial court were one after another, no less than a few hundred steps, leaving behind two vast viewing platforms.
The officials were ranked according to their rank. They wore the court uniform and stood on both sides, looking imposing.
Below the steps, there were a hundred officials standing on both sides, and two-thirds of the seats were reserved. Anyone who had an official position in the Imperial Capital had to come.
Officials above rank three were waiting on the viewing platform in the middle of the platform.
Gao Mao stood outside the court hall and shouted, "Welcome the new emperor!"
"Welcome the new Emperor!"
Yu Longchen wore a dragon crown and a black gold dragon robe. There was no smile on his angular face. There was only solemnity and coldness. He walked steadily with every step. The Qi of Overlord that came with him spread out with every movement of his hand. No one dared to look at him directly.
Mu Ruqing combed her hair into a bun and wore a phoenix crown on her head. Her exquisite makeup added a lot of graceful temperament. Coupled with her own confidence, the aura in her bones spontaneously arose, making people feel as if she was a fairy from an immortal realm.
She wore a black gold wind robe and her sleeves were covered with golden lines. The phoenix golden lines on her back were outlined and the red silk threads were the finishing touches. Her long nine phoenix tail supported her back. With every step she took, she felt as if the phoenix was going to fly out.
The two of them held each other up. With each step they took, the feeling in their hearts became deeper and deeper. They held each other's hands more and more tightly.
Gao Mao's voice could be heard, "Kneel! Shroom! Shroom!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Your Ladyship, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Rise!"
"Kneel again! Shroom!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Your Ladyship is a thousand years old! Long live the Empress!"
"Rise!"
"Three kneeling! Mountain Whew!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Your Ladyship is a thousand years old! Long live the Emperor!"
The cry echoed through the clouds, piercing into the eardrums! Every syllable caused Yu Longzi to feel an indescribable irritation in his heart. He forcefully suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
Kneeling on the ground, every action was an insult to him. The blood in his palm passed through the gaps between his fingers and dyed his palm red. His face was flushed red, and the bite muscles on his two sides were moving stiffly.
Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing climbed to the highest step.
Yu Longchen raised his right hand and turned. His magnetic voice echoed throughout the entire outer hall. "All ministers, rise!"
"Thank the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live Your Ladyship! Long live Your Ladyship!" The voices of hundreds of officials overlapped and even the floor trembled.
The dividing line.
On the same day, after the coronation, Yu Longchen issued two imperial decrees.
The first was to remove the original organization of the Praetorian Guard and dismiss the old division. He ordered Changxu to be Commander of Praetorian Guard, and to bring all the hidden guards of the original mansion to the surface. They were all to be made into the new Praetorian Guard.
Of course, such a matter couldn't be said on the imperial decree. He just wanted Changxu to arrange it.
Originally, there were officials who opposed it, but Prime Minister Mu agreed. At the same time, he used the matter of Mu Ruqing's assassination to shut up the mouths of those ministers.
With the new Emperor's coronation, the family members of the Praetorian Guard were pardoned from committing crimes. Shi!
Secondly, Yu Jingmo would be the Crown Prince. The officials were surprised by this decree.
They had never heard of Yu Longchen having a three-year-old son. Furthermore, Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing had been married for more than two years. Where did this three-year-old child come from?
However, since Yu Longchen had already given the decree, no one dared to investigate where this Yu Jingmo came from. They only needed to know that Yu Jingmo must have the bloodline of the royal family. They did not care if it was Yu Longchen's son before he got married.
The most surprised one was Mu Po. He had already tacitly agreed that Yu Longchen had a child with that concubine. Since Mu Ruqing had agreed to it, he couldn't say anything. He just felt more and more puzzled in his heart.
After that, Gao Mao brought Yu Jingmo into the Imperial Court.
The eyes of the officials could not leave this three-year-old child. He wore a red crown prince uniform and looked straight ahead. He had the worship of his father. He walked to the front and knelt on the ground. "This son thanks Royal Father for his graciousness. This son accepts the decree."
"Yes." Only then did Yu Longchen reveal a smile. "Go on. In a while, Royal Father will go and see you."
The ministers didn't know who Yu Jingmo was, but Yu Longzi knew who he was. When he saw Yu Jingmo, his pupils dilated. This was the son of Yu Longtang, whom he had been looking for for for a long time, but had yet to receive any news.
He had a plan in his heart and took a step forward, "Emperor..."
"What is the matter with King Yi?" Yu Longchen knew what he wanted to say and placed his hand on the dragon throne. The Crown Prince is my bloodline, if you have any questions... You can ask me now, if there are any words that will harm the Crown Prince in the future... If I continue to blame you, don't come and plead!"
"Yes!" The official raised his hand and answered. Mu Po's eyes became more and more determined.
Yu Longzi thought for a while and then raised his head, "The Crown Prince is naturally noble but this official has never heard of the Emperor and Empress having such a child. This official did hear that it was originally..."
"Could it be that Zhen's child still needs to report to King Tongyi? ! " Yu Longchen suddenly patted the dragon head of his subordinates. It was very obvious: Crown Prince is Zhen's son. He is the official of the people. He should do his duty well. The Crown Prince is not a subordinate, so he can be discussed as he pleases!"
"This official obeys the decree!" When the minister heard this, he knelt down.
Only Yu Longzi was left standing.
"What is it? Does King Yi still have any objections?" Yu Longchen slightly raised his brows. This was his last warning.
Yu Longzi gritted his teeth. At this moment, only he knew what kind of emotions he was feeling. The speed at which he knelt down was slower than those ministers by half. After a long time, he finally spat out those few words. "This official! Obey the decree!"
"Very good!" Yu Longchen's lips curved up a little and gave Gao Mao a look.
Gao Mao took a few steps forward. "There is a memorial. If there is no memorial, retreat!"
"Respectfully sending off the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Yu Longchen got up, flicked his sleeves and left.
The officials immediately became noisy. Only Yu Longzi's side's people waited behind for a while. Seeing that Yu Longzi's condition was not good, they tactfully left.
Yu Longchen went straight to the harem and headed straight for the Wuxi Palace. By the time he arrived, Yu Jingmo and Lingyue had already become friends.
Mu Ruqing sat by the side and looked at him with a smile.
Yu Longchen did not disturb her and walked over from behind. He did not care about the people present and kissed Mu Ruqing on the cheek.
Those palace maids all lowered their heads and did not dare to look.
Mu Ruqing was very overbearing and directly used her hands to hold Yu Longchen's face. Staring at his lips, she kissed him.
