Lanling covered the moon

A few days later, at the beginning of spring, Emperor Xiaozhao Gao Yan finally drew up the edict for the throne of Zen, and passed it on to his younger brother Changguang Wang Gaozhan on the grounds that he was unwell and unable to support the government.

In 561 AD, the Northern Qi Dynasty ushered in the fourth emperor since the founding of the country, known as Emperor Wucheng of Northern Qi Dynasty in history.

Gao Zhan first led civil and military officials to enshrine Zen and sacrifice to heaven on the altar, and then pardoned the world.

The sky is blue, the eaves of Wenchang Hall are upturned, the glazed tiles are shining brightly reflecting the sun, and all the officials kneeling in front of the square paved with white floor tiles.

"The sacrificial ceremony is completed, please be the emperor!" The official of the ceremony stood on the foundation of the Wenchang Hall and said.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Prime Minister Zuo and Shi Kai led all the ministers to bow, bow three times, flatten their bodies, and stop happily.Then worship again and again, throughout his life, the music is played repeatedly in order, and it is in line with the pace of the worship of the officials.

The ceremonies and music stopped, and there was no sound in front of Wenchang Hall.

Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, a man walked slowly through the center of the moat with carved dragon pillars.

The twelve jade long handles swayed slightly with his steps, and the long eyes looked down, looking down at the world, this is his country, this is his world.And his Chang Gong was kneeling among the courtiers at this moment, and he didn't hold his hand beside him.

Suddenly hesitant, a little eunuch came running in front of the Wenchang Palace, bowed his head and let Gao Zhan take his hand to lead the emperor to Dan Bi, who was covered with red silk.The carved dragon and phoenix in the center of Danbi seem to blend with Gao Zhan's long dragon robe dragging behind him.

On the platform, the Son of Heaven waved his sleeves slowly, and said loudly, "Everyone is flat!"

Suddenly, the voice of the mountain shouted like thunder from the front of the hall: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Dale preached that all officials followed the new emperor into the Wenchang Palace, and waited for the emperor to ascend the throne with the crown of gun. The general rolled up the curtain, Shang Baoqing held the imperial treasure and placed it on the case, and the arch guard blew his whip. Congratulations.

When the people in Yecheng heard that the new emperor had ascended the throne, merchants and peasant households would be exempted from taxes for one year, and those who had been tortured and labored would be pardoned without serious crimes. They were overjoyed and rushed to tell each other.Many people lit firecrackers at the door, and the sound of firecrackers spread into the palace to complement each other with rituals and music, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The enthronement ceremony was complicated and long, and after the enthronement ceremony, it was already the beginning of the lights.

Gao Zhan changed the Yuan to Taining at the grand ceremony, made his only son Gao Wei the prince, and made Gao Bainian, the prince of Emperor Xiaozhao Gaoyan, the king of Leling County.When all the dust had settled down, and when the ceremony was over, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty looked at each other, and finally realized something was wrong: the new emperor did not confer a queen, there was an emperor but no queen, unprecedented in all dynasties.

"Your Majesty...the old minister has the guts to make a statement..." An old man lowered his head and held the wat board and went out to play, but he didn't finish his sentence, but he saw that Gao Zhan had already left the throne, as if he hadn't heard it He turned around and walked towards the apse as he said.

Looking at Gao Zhan's back, the minister was terrified.

"My lord, the enthronement ceremony is over, and His Majesty the Emperor is a bit tired. After a short rest, the adults will be able to attend the dinner set by His Majesty at Jiuhuatai. Please move to Jiuhuatai, my lords." Gao The eunuch in front of Zhan Yu went down the steps and reminded the minister.

"This...yes, I thank Your Majesty for the banquet." The minister felt that he was in an awkward situation, so he could only stop there, and the surrounding officials got up and left Wenchang Hall in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

"The ceremonial officials are really dereliction of duty, how can the new emperor have no heirs?"

"Yes, yes, it is really inappropriate! If it spreads, it will really make me, Daqi, the laughing stock of all nations!"

"My lords, I don't know. I really can't blame the ceremonial officials for this matter. Before my new emperor ascended the throne, I just lost my concubine. The enthronement ceremony is about to come. Naturally, the ceremonial officials in the palace submitted the rosters of many famous ladies to His Majesty. Choose, but..." An adult who seemed to know the inside story lowered his voice to clear up doubts for everyone.

"How is it? My emperor can't pick any of them?"

"When the emperor came to the throne, the 72 concubines of the Sangong and Six Courtyards were naturally indispensable, but before the grand ceremony, the emperor only allowed the minister in charge of internal affairs to pick dozens of eminent and beautiful women to fill the harem, and named noble concubines, madam , nobleman, Shuyuan, Shuyi, Xiuhua, Xiurong, Xiuyi, Jieyu, Ronghua, Yunhua and other positions can be regarded as reassuring the hearts of the high-ranking clans, but how can the officials write letters to ask for help? After the emperor conferred the title, His Majesty was unmoved. I see..." The minister stroked his beard to show off.

"What do you think?" All the ministers around were puzzled, poking their heads as if they wanted to hear a shocking secret.

"I see... I see that our majesty is naturally deeply in love with the concubine who passed away early, and is inseparable. His majesty cares about the old love, and he is the first to become a great treasure, so naturally he is not in a hurry to become a queen!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in approval.So they all felt relieved, some praised His Majesty's deep love and affection as an example in the world, some secretly rejoiced that the post was vacant, and there was still a good chance for a daughter from the family to enter the palace, and there were also daughters from the family who had already entered the palace The one who sealed the position was even more ecstatic.The emperor was about to become empress, so the moon was the first to be close to the water, and the concubines in the palace naturally had a bright future.All of a sudden, the adults have their own ghosts, and the undercurrent is surging.The Hou Ye generals were secretly planning, but on the surface, they naturally still had to be full of faces, bustling with joy, and happily crossed their shoulders and walked towards Jiuhuatai.

Xiao Zimo was wearing a python robe and walked slowly behind the ministers.

After knelt down for a whole day, he didn't raise his head to look carefully, but followed the other ministers to worship Gao Zhan, who was a hundred steps away from the high position of the emperor.

Although he didn't want to see clearly with his eyes, he could still see the man in the dragon robe on the imperial throne, wearing a crown and his face hanging down when he raised his head inadvertently.Gao Zhan still became the emperor, and what he should have known early in the morning became vaguely like a scene in a dream.What should he do?Happy or sad?Now Uncle Jiu is the king and he is the minister, the situation in the future is really unpredictable and dangerous.

Inadvertently sighed, shook his head with a helpless smile, if he couldn't do it that day, he shouldn't be worried today.

"What's the matter with the fourth brother? Your Majesty is the first to join the Datong, you don't seem very happy?" Xiaoyu had a good chat with his colleagues from the Zhongshu Province before walking in front, and at some point, he was already beside Zimo.

"Brother, why did you turn back again? I thought you had already arrived at Jiuhuatai." Zimo sighed.

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness Lan Ling praised me this time, but I am ashamed to accept the disrespect! Chang Gong didn't even know where I was coming." Xiao Yu laughed.

"Brother, don't make fun of me. I've been kneeling and praying all day, and my head and body are dizzy. I just want to go back to my mansion early to rest, but..."

"However, His Majesty hosted a banquet, and none of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty was absent. You, King Lanling, can only reluctantly do it?"

"Brother, you have to speak in a low voice, what is it? Let others hear it and hear it in the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that my younger brother will offend the current emperor again." Zimo walked slowly while pulling his elder brother's sleeve robe, Widen the distance from the ministers in front.

"Hey? I remember that among our brothers, Uncle Nine loves you the most, Chang Gong. When will he say he's going to offend you? Haha, could it be that Chang Gong knew that His Majesty the Emperor has shown great kindness to you, the fourth brother? Don't you feel more cautious, lest people say that you are defiant just because you have His Majesty's backing?" Xiao Yu teased.

"Brother! You..." Zimo was just about to complain to his elder brother, although it was just a joke between brothers, but in his ears, every word and every word was poked at the gate of his life.

"Brother, if the fourth brother is not feeling well, let him go back to the house early to rest. There are so many people at the dinner party, and the fourth brother doesn't want to participate." Gao Xiaowan was the one who spoke. He wanted to let Zimo go first, but he caught up with him at this moment.

"Third brother, you can't spoil the fourth brother like this. Today, the ninth uncle is the new emperor, and if the fourth brother leaves without saying goodbye to His Majesty, one can imagine what civil and military officials will think. This is not willful and reckless." when."

"Your Majesty, naturally I have to explain. The fourth brother is not good at drinking, so I should go back earlier." Xiao Wan is usually gentle and elegant, but she didn't think about it today, but she never backed down, insisting that her son not go back.

Zimo looked at the eldest brother and the third brother in a dispute, and it was very abrupt.

"Stop, stop! Why are the two brothers arguing like this? When did I say I won't go to the banquet?" Zi Mo asked.

"That's right, Xiao Wan, why didn't our fourth brother go to His Majesty's banquet? He didn't say no." Xiao Yu asked.

When Gao Xiaowan heard that Zi Mo said that he was going to the banquet, his heart was burning with anger, his brows were filled with anger, and he asked heavily: "Are you really going?"

Zimo was stunned, not knowing why the third brother had such a face, and nodded without knowing the reason, but he didn't expect that his actions made the third brother even more angry.Gao Xiaowan took a step forward and was about to explode when Le'an Wang Gao Li followed the sound and hurriedly shouted: "Oh, Your Highness He Jian, Your Highness, you are so easy for me to find! Why did you walk so fast, and the chat just now was so happy , leaving the old man behind in a blink of an eye."

King Le'an was out of breath from running, and stopped Gao Xiaowan who couldn't help being furious.

"Hello, Uncle!" Zi Mo and his elder brother Xiao Yu came to salute Gao Li when they saw Gao Li.

"We are the same, Your Highness, Fourth Highness is well." Gao Li smiled happily, and Gao Xiaowan's ferocious appearance was no longer so eye-catching.

"Your Highness, why haven't you gone to Jiuhuatai yet? Don't be late for the special banquet set up by the new emperor. If you are late, His Majesty will think that you nephews are not respectful enough." King Le An said with a smile, With one hand, he grabbed Gao Xiaowan's sleeve.

"Yes, my nephew will go right away." Xiao Yu cupped her hands and said, pulling Zimo to go together.

Zimo saw that the third brother's expression was not good, and didn't understand the reason, so he could only smile silly, and said to the third brother: "Third brother, then I will go there with the eldest brother first, and you should come quickly. Just now I was wondering why you walked so slowly, it turned out that I was visiting the palace with my uncle, it is so good, my uncle has not returned to Yecheng for a long time, so I should walk around more with you." Zimo cupped his hands and King Le'an After giving a salute, thinking that the third brother was displeased, he was also angry because he was afraid that he would get drunk and lose his temper again. It was enough to go back to the house and talk to the third brother, and then followed the eldest brother to Jiuhuatai.

Gao Xiaowan lowered his eyes, curled his hands into fists, clenched them tightly, and furrowed his brows.

"Your Highness, what did you promise me? Forbearance! Although I don't know the reason why you are so angry, I am really worried about your temperament, Your Highness. It is one thing to make a big deal easy, and the other is to be able to hide your emotions. , The third and most important point is to endure what others cannot bear, and before you are sure, don't show off your mountains and dews, and let the world know!" Le'an Wang said in a deep voice.

. . . . . .Gao Xiaowan seemed to have caught the key point, knowing that even if he forcibly dragged his fourth brother back at this moment, Gao Zhan would not be able to let go of Chang Gong. Gao Zhan had already become the emperor, and he couldn't bear it now. It just made Chang Gong lose his tongue and become a laughing stock.

Yes, he must endure!Even if his heart is broken and heartbroken, he can only endure it until he can succeed in one fell swoop, then he can save Zhang Gong from the fire and water!
