Half a month later, the enthronement ceremony was held.

Xiao Heng lay asleep on the dragon bed, and he was woken up by Eunuch Liu.Eunuch Liu sent him to Huaqing Pool to bathe and change his clothes.Xiao Heng had injuries on his body and could only be simply scrubbed clean.

The palace maid walked towards Xiao Heng with her coat in her hand.He quickly blocked his lower body, he felt extremely embarrassed, he was so embarrassed these days.He called the little eunuch Xiaodouzi, and Xiaodouzi helped him put on his coat.

A court lady combed Xiao Heng's hair in a bun, and put on a bright yellow dragon robe with nine chapter patterns, and nine dragons lingered on his chest.Over the yellow robe is a black Kowloon uniform, with the sun on the left shoulder, the moon on the right shoulder, and the mountains, rivers and stars on the back.

A court lady tied a five-color winter pearl dragon belt and dragon boots on him.Another court lady put a pearl crown on him and put a sword on his waist.This attire set off Xiao Heng's extraordinary beauty, and several court ladies blushed. The new emperor is so handsome.

Xiao Heng was restless. After putting on the dragon robe, he put Zhao Yuanjian's jade pendant in the brocade box on the dragon bed. He touched the sachet on his chest and thought: Yuanjian, I really want you to watch me ascend the throne. When will I see you.

At this moment, Xiao Heng heard the sound of bells and drums coming from the front hall. Eunuch Liu urged him: "Your Majesty, this is the ritual and music for enthronement. The enthronement ceremony has already begun. Let's hurry to the Taimiao."

Eunuch Liu helped him out of the palace gate, and helped him onto a colorful gilt sedan chair hung with pearl and jade silk gauze curtains.The court ladies and eunuchs, holding various gift boxes and dragon seals, followed the carriage to the Taimiao.

He walked to the Taimiao and saw that the ministers were already standing there waiting.Seeing Xiao Heng coming, they all knelt down and shouted to him: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, please enter the Taimiao."

Xiao Heng felt uncomfortable when they shouted at him. He thought he was really the emperor now, and there were so many people bowing down to him wherever he went.

He walked into the Taimiao, and the ministers followed him, and went with him to sacrifice to the ancestors of the Xiao family.In the lobby of the Taimiao, Xiao Heng saw the portraits of the three former emperors hanging on the wall, and there were memorial tablets, fruit offerings, and meat offerings on the table.Eunuch Liu brought the burning incense and handed it to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng took the incense and bowed to the spiritual throne of the late emperor of the Xiao family a few times.According to the words given to him by Mr. Liu: "Please ancestors of the Xiao family, Grandpa Grandpa Taizong, Grandpa Taizong, Father Zhongzong, please bless Xiao Heng's successful enthronement, the prosperity of the country, and the well-being of the people."

Eunuch Liu picked up the incense and put it in the incense burner. The incense burned very vigorously, and the white smoke floated straight up.Eunuch Liu was overjoyed: "He said congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, this is a good omen."

All officials, civil and military, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to the tablets of the late emperors.

After the ceremony, Eunuch Liu helped Xiao Heng out of the temple gate and helped him into the car.

Xiao Heng came to Fengtian Hall again to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.On the Fengtian Hall, there are statues of immortals, and under the statues, there are sacrificial animals such as grains, corn, donkeys, horses, cattle and sheep.Xiao Heng knelt at the gate of Fengtian and prayed to the gods of heaven and earth, and the ministers knelt on both sides of the royal road. After Xiao Heng finished communicating with the gods of heaven and earth, he came out of Fengtian Hall and followed Xiao Heng to the Golden Luan Hall.

Along the way, the maids and eunuchs knelt down to Xiao Heng and greeted him.His queen mother stood at the gate of the Golden Luan Hall to welcome him, wearing a floor-sweeping yellow robe in the style of dragons and phoenixes contending with each other, with thin eyebrows reaching into the temples, and a pair of eyes that were so sharp that they could penetrate people's hearts.

Xiao Heng was afraid of the Queen Mother, so he couldn't help but step back.She took his hand firmly.Walk towards the solemn and sacred golden throne above the stairs.

Rituals and music are fluttering, bells are ringing, and smoke is lingering.Xiao Heng and the Queen Mother sat on the Golden Luan Hall to accept the worship of civil and military officials.He was a little nervous, and his palms were sweating.It was the first time that he was bowed down by so many people, and they were all high-ranking court officials, which made him a little excited. He thought that he was not as good as shit, but now he finally turned around.

He thought it was funny how the ministers pouted their buttocks, and he couldn't help laughing.

Civil and military officials shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Tong Zan sang: "Play music in a row."

When the music sounded, the ministers immediately arranged their shifts, and after they were neatly arranged, all the ministers bowed.All the ministers bowed three times, flattened their bodies, and stopped happily.Then bow again and again, flatten your body, and stop happily.

The courtiers all stood up and stood aside.Xiao Heng couldn't see Zhao Shengqi, and Zhao Shengqi didn't attend the enthronement ceremony.

The grand master took the enthronement edict and read: "Following the heaven, the emperor's edict said: Emperor Xiao Heng dared to use Xuan Mu to tell the emperor and the empress, and it ended with divination. The calendar will return. If you are lucky, you will live in Yu. The destiny It cannot be refused, the artifact cannot be kept for a long time, the ministers cannot be without the owner, and all opportunities cannot be without authority. To inherit the emperor's authority, dare not to accept it. Today, on the first day, I will go to the altar to receive the emperor's seal, and I will tell the gods, and I will eat at home. But the Great God is still in the homeland, we are in the Great Wei, and we will always be in the world, bless you all!"

After reading it, all civil and military officials bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.The Taishi shouted: "Bow, worship Xing, worship Xing, flat body, wat, bow, dance three times, kneel on the left knee, kowtow three times, shout long live the mountain, shout again, kneel on the right knee, and get out of the wat."

All civil and military officials have completed their ceremony.

The grand master shouted: "Kneel three times and knock nine times."

After the civil and military officials finished their ceremony, they shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The people of Luan Yiwei walked into the gate of Taihe together with Huang Gai in their hands, and shook off their whips.

Eunuch Liu announces the dancing girl to the hall.At this time, the sound of pipa sounded like jade beads falling, and the sounds of bells, Xiao, and loss sounded together.The dancer girl walked into the hall and danced the Wan Guo Lai Chao Wu.Pretty dancers are dressed in men's costumes, dancing gracefully, both feminine and masculine.They all looked at Xiao Heng, hoping to win the favor of the new emperor.

Xiao Heng's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he pulled out the sword at his waist.Seeing him drawing his sword, the queen mother turned pale with fright, and the ministers also stood up one after another.

Xiao Heng walked into the dancers with a sword in his hand, and danced with the sword. He danced very well. The light of the sword was like a shooting star or a whirling Milky Way.

The civil and military officials immediately admired him, they felt that the new emperor was heroic and majestic.Some ministers couldn't help but have some expectations for him, and wanted the new emperor to regain power.

When the dance is over, the dancing girl leaves.

Envoys from various countries walked in from outside the palace with their treasures.They look strange, some have scorched skin, some are fair.Some have high foreheads and straight noses, some have flat noses and flat foreheads, some have blue eyes and yellow hair, and some have black hair and black eyes.Clothing is very different from the Central Plains.

The bald envoy of the Great Khan of the Huns brought gifts: two double knives with colorful gemstones shining on them, and three night pearls the size of goose eggs, and a pair of emerald boys and girls wearing wedding dresses.

Xiao Heng stared at these treasures in disgust. He thought that if this Hun Khan appeared in front of him, he would have to be eunuched.It turned out that these gifts were given by Zuo Xianwang, who had just ascended the throne of Great Khan.

The envoys withdrew after presenting congratulatory gifts.

In the evening, a palace banquet was held in the Golden Luan Hall.Civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor and relatives of the state all attended the table.Xiao Heng had no appetite, and sat on the dragon chair and dozed off boredly.

The queen mother said: "After a while, the Ai family will choose a queen for the emperor. Your majesty, you must give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible to inherit the royal incense."

Now Dawei has internal and external troubles, and she can't realize her ideals, but she doesn't want to give up the power in her hands. She is only in her 40s, which is a good age to take power.She wanted Xiao Heng to continue to be the puppet emperor, and wanted Xiao Heng to give birth to a grandson, so that she would have the next heir.In the future, she will train the emperor's grandson well, and then inherit the throne when the emperor's grandson grows up.In this way, the emperor's grandson will be grateful to her as the emperor's grandmother.

When Xiao Heng heard this, he woke up from his drowsiness and became unhappy. He didn't want a queen, and he didn't want anyone except Zhao Yuanjian to be his queen.

Xiao Heng said, "I don't want a queen."

The queen mother said: "It's ridiculous! Which emperor doesn't have the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of the Sangong? Aijia sees that you don't want to have Zhao Yuanjian revived. Only when he dies can you be an emperor in peace."

Xiao Heng didn't dare to refute after hearing this.Now he finally understands why Zhao Yuanjian must bring himself to rebel.Only when he holds the imperial power can the two of them stay together in an upright manner.

The princess was serving food for Xiao Heng. He ate a few mouthfuls, but he didn't like it. He liked the porridge and side dishes made by Zhao Yuanjian's cook.

The Xiao family came over to toast Xiao Heng.There are not many people left in the Xiao family, sparsely populated.The idle prince Xiao Zhengxuan walked over with his little grandson holding a wine glass.

Xiao Zhengxuan has gray hair, wrinkles around his eyes, and a white beard on his mouth.He said: "The emperor is indeed the reincarnation of the dragon. After many years of disappearance, he was found and sat on the throne. I am very happy. Congratulations to the emperor and the queen mother."

Xiao Zhengxuan's two-year-old grandson, in Xiao Heng's eyes, looks very cute in pink makeup.Xiao Heng liked it the moment he saw it. He asked the child to sit beside him, and asked the maid to feed him grapes.

Xiao Heng asked: "Are you my uncle?"

Xiao Zhengxuan: "Exactly."

Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, you have to call yourself Zhen, and you can no longer use me. You have to understand palace etiquette."

Xiao Heng: "It's the queen mother. I like this child very much and want to keep him for a few days."

The empress dowager turned cold: "No, it's not proper, you are the emperor, how can the emperor coax children."

She didn't want Xiao Heng to get too close to the Xiao family. If he united with the Xiao family, it would be difficult if he lost control.

Xiao Zhengxuan's son, Xiao Liang, also came over with a drink. He stood beside Xiao Heng and toasted Xiao Heng: "The emperor's ascension to the throne is a blessing to the Great Wei. Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Xiao Heng picked up the wine cauldron with a smile and drank it down. He said, "Thank you, cousin."

Queen Mother: "How can the emperor thank you, this is really ridiculous."

Xiao Heng thought that I had finally tasted the taste of the former unlucky emperor.

Relatives of the Zhao family also came to salute.Zhao Yuanqi came on behalf of Zhao Shengqi, and he stepped forward to congratulate Xiao Heng.Zhao Shengqi was very unhappy that Xiao Heng could come back to be the emperor, and he had already exposed his ambition, he didn't want to come to the palace to celebrate Xiao Heng.

Zhao Yuanqi said: "On behalf of my father, I congratulate the emperor and the queen mother on the reunion of mother and child."

Xiao Heng turned his head and ignored him.

The queen mother was also disgusted.But she can't turn against Zhao Shengqi yet, some of Zhao Shengqi's henchmen are in the court.The Zuoxian King of the Huns has killed the Great Khan of the Huns and ascended the throne of the Great Khan. He is eyeing the Great Wei.Even if she knows that Zhao Shengqi intends to rebel, she can't take action against Zhao Shengqi right now.Just wait for the overall situation to be planned before cleaning him up.

She suppressed her anger and said, "Yuan Qi, you go back and tell him that Ai Jia understands."

The Queen Mother's other two elder brothers brought their family members to congratulate Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng drank wine one by one.

After the dinner, Eunuch Liu helped Xiao Heng back to his own palace, Changchun Palace.The little eunuch took off his dragon robe and put on a yellow undershirt for him.Spread the pearl bed curtains and light the dragon birthday incense.

Xiao Heng leaned on a red pillow, smelling the fragrance of dragon birthday incense, closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Two court ladies with long hair and tulle came in from the side and knelt down to Xiao Heng: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent us to attend the bed."

Xiao Heng opened his eyes and saw that the breasts of the two maids were half exposed.He was very annoyed, and cursed: "Where is the dog, get out of here!"

The two court ladies knelt on the ground, their faces showing embarrassment.They had no choice but to take off the tulle halfway, revealing the graceful jade body, and they said: "If we can't serve the bed, the queen mother will punish us, please the emperor..."

Xiao Heng looked angry, he sat up suddenly, drew out his knife, and pointed it at them.Seeing this, the maid was so frightened that she didn't even put on the tulle, and escaped.

Eunuch Liu walked in and persuaded from the side: "This is the kindness of the queen mother, the emperor should accept it."

Xiao Heng was so angry that he pointed a knife at Eunuch Liu and cursed: "You bastard, how dare you come to persuade me? You all get out! I feel upset when I see you, and I can't sleep well every day!"

Eunuch Liu and the court ladies and eunuchs all withdrew from the palace.
