Chapter 180 Enthronement Ceremony, Sudden Change
"Your Majesty... the funeral is over!"
"Really? This...why is it so sudden?"
"Your Majesty has been bedridden for more than a month, and there is no way to save him... There is no way."
"I heard the sky roaring that day, so it must be His Majesty's funeral..."
"The second prince is about to ascend the throne..."
"What? Second Prince?"
"Didn't you say that the eldest princess is the princess?"
"The Great Empress did not return from the Western Expedition, she supported her own troops, and she had a rebellious intention, so His Majesty's decree made the Second Prince the new king!"
"What? How is it possible! How could the eldest princess rebel?"
"Second prince...couldn't have used some means to..."
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
"Then what about the eldest princess?"
"The second prince ascended the throne? This... the second prince has a heavy army, will he not be drafted to fight in the future?"
After Lan Chi settled the court,
The news of Lan Su's funeral and Lan Chi's ascension to the throne was well conveyed to the people.
Suddenly, it became the hottest hot topic in Lieyang City.
And soon, it will spread to the whole world with Lie Yang as the center.
Chaos is coming,
The rain is coming.
Naturally, there are ambitious people who want to move around.
However, for most people, they still don't like chaos, and they don't like breaking messy things to break their peaceful life.
People are mourning Lan Su's death,
Or feel puzzled about Lanxi not returning to Kyoto,
Or guessing about the weird enthronement of the second prince,
Or worry about the future.
But anyway...
These are the ruled people,
As long as they are not suppressed to the extreme, their words and opinions don't actually mean much.
Today is sunny and fine day,
The cumbersome etiquette is over, surrounded by hundreds of officials,
Lan Chi wore a royal robe, with a dignified expression,
Step by step, he walked up to the high platform that Qianyuan would only open during the major ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
Here you can overlook the entire royal capital, and you can also be looked up by the subjects of the entire royal city.
Today, he will burn incense and sing here, enthroned as king, and announce to the world,
It was announced that he was the next generation king of Qianyuan.
The incense burns in the tripod,
Lan Chi was holding a golden bowl with sacrificial wine in both hands.
Rare, with a somewhat respectful look on his face,
Looking at the sky, he said in a deep voice: "In the 312th year of Qianyuan, Lan Chi, the twelfth generation descendant of the Lan family, is here to pray to the heaven and earth, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon... the spirits of the ancestors of all generations. Lan Chi obeyed the destiny above, and followed the people's hearts below.
He said the words of offering sacrifices to the heavens that he had already prepared.
All civil and military officials also looked at him respectfully below, quietly waiting for the enthronement ceremony to be carried out.
everything went well,
However at this moment,
"Boom boom boom!"
suddenly,
The originally clear sky,
suddenly darkened,
The dome was covered with dark clouds, filled with blood mist, faintly, carrying a somewhat terrifying and heavy momentum.
Suddenly several bolts of lightning thundered down, shaking people's hearts.
Lan Chi, who was speaking the words of prayer, froze for a moment, then stood up immediately,
Gazing coldly at the shifting, cloud-covered sky,
"What does this mean?"
His face was calm, and he whispered in a low voice, as if he was questioning the sky.
The clear sky changed in an instant, with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
But it was still during the time when he ascended the throne to proclaim to the world, it is hard not to explain something.
how?
Doesn't Heaven also recognize his position as king?
It was given to him by his father!
This is his seat!
"Boom boom boom!"
amidst the roar of thunder,
then,
It was in the horrified eyes of Tian Guangli who crowned Lan Chi behind him and another old minister.
He directly threw the golden bowl in his hand to the ground,
Drinks were spilled all over the floor.
Since the sky does not recognize his words, then why don't you sacrifice to the sky!
"tyrant!"
However at this moment,
Suddenly there was a loud shout in the distance,
The sound was like drums and thunder, and it easily reached Lan Chi's ears.
"Whoosh!"
next moment,
The sound of breaking the sky sounded,
Someone in the distance bends his bow and puts an arrow, trying to kill the king!
"Your Majesty beware!"
Tian Guangli's eyes suddenly shrank behind him, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
But seeing an impossibly fast black streamer piercing the sky, heading straight for Lan Chi, who is offering sacrifices to the sky.
However... at this moment,
A figure suddenly appeared beside Lan Chi, stretched out his hand,
Actually grabbed the arrow that was shot with precision,
The pitch-black strange arrows buzzed, and the sharp arrows shone with a gloomy cold light,
Right in front of Lan Chi's eyes,
Just a little bit, the arrow could pierce through his body, causing him to die at the enthronement ceremony.
Looking along the palm holding this strange arrow,
At some point, a person broke through numerous barriers and protection, and came to Lan Chi's side.
He is a middle-aged man with a good appearance, dressed in a green dress, and has an extraordinary bearing.
With a casual pinch, the weird arrow turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
And at the same time,
Another old man appeared on the other side of Lan Chi,
He waved the dust in his hand lightly,
gentle breeze,
The dense dark clouds and accumulated lightning on the dome seemed to be dispelled by some special force.
disappeared without a trace in an instant,
The sky returned to be as clear as before,
There is even a rainbow hanging in the sky, surrounded by auspicious clouds, which looks auspicious.
"How is this going?!"
"His Majesty!!!!"
"Who are those two people?! How did they get up there?"
"!!"
"Quick, escort!"
Everything happened so fast!
From the natural vision, to the attack by assassins, to the sudden appearance of two people to rescue him, to the auspiciousness of the sky today.
Everything was completed in just a few breaths.
for a while,
The officials below were also a little confused.
Just shouting anxiously and nervously.
Lan Chi's face was cloudy and uncertain, looking at the two people who appeared suddenly.
He remembered that the old ghost seemed to say,
When troubled times came, several elders of his sect would come to assist him.
"."Your Majesty, please continue with the enthronement ceremony!"
The two bowed to him and said in a deep voice.
"The second prince, Lan Chi, is rebellious. He killed his father and seized the throne. He suppressed the imperial court with tyranny and domineering. This action angered everyone, and angered everyone! His temperament is arrogant and tyrannical, he doesn't understand the people's sentiments, doesn't care about the people's opinions, and insists on launching an army, which will definitely lead to disaster!"
"The Great Empress Lan Xifang is the orthodox of Qianyuan, and the destiny belongs to her. She wants to use Yuezhou as her capital, ascend the throne as king, rule the thirteen states in the west, overthrow the tyrant's rule and go to peace!"
On Lieyang's side, when Lan Chi was enthroned as king,
Various measures that Lan Xi had prepared for a long time were also carried out.
There are not only political and military-related measures of the superiors such as officials standing in line and deploying troops around the Yuanjiang River.
In terms of publicity and reputation, various states and counties issued announcements, and the news spread, and soon spread throughout the entire thirteen states in the west, and even gained many supporters in the east.
After all, when it comes to public opinion,
No matter what, Lan Chi can't compare to Lan Xi's management over the years.
"What? A coup has taken place in Kyoto?!"
"The second prince can actually do such a thing?"
(Good job) "It's better to be the eldest princess! After the arrival of the eldest princess, life in our county has changed for the better!"
"The Great Empress should be the next generation Holy Majesty!"
"The former emperor has decreed that as long as the imperial daughter returns to the capital, she will be the princess!"
"I support the Great Empress! The Great Empress will surely win!"
"Have you heard? The Empress wants to establish a new dynasty in Yuezhou, and she will even hold an imperial examination to select talents, and help the building to collapse!"
"Why don't you show your ambition and save your country?"
same,
The first emperor died, the second prince ascended the throne,
Such a big change is also the focus of discussion in the western states.
However, compared to Lieyang City, everyone is in danger and the future is uncertain.
On Lanxi's side,
But it is a completely different style.
People are obviously more willing to believe the words of the eldest princess.
After all, Lan Xi has won the hearts of the people,
Previously, the former emperor had decreed that she would be the princess when she returned to Beijing, and she was indeed orthodox.
Lan Chi's accession to the throne is full of weirdness, and the reason for the weirdness is even more untenable.
so,
Even if Lan Xi is not in the capital, even if she has no imperial decree, no jade seal...
But there are still countless people who are willing to support her. .
