spring as old

It was only morning when he entered the palace, after all the tossing, it was already past noon.

To live to death is to go through a catastrophe after all.Most of the obstacles have been cleared away, and the road will become smoother and smoother after thinking about it.

But Puyang didn't have any joy.She didn't think about Xiao Dewen's death, who should be established as the new emperor, and she didn't think about whether it was the right time for her to become emperor at this time.

Ever since she was reborn, she had been wanting to sit in that position, but now she finally saw the light, and there was no wave in her heart.

She insisted on seeing Wei Xiu's wound, even if she said it was only a minor injury, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Wei Xiu looked at her helplessly, but in the end she couldn't hold her back.Pu Yang pushed her to go to the side hall, Wei Xiu still wanted to struggle, but seeing Pu Yang's dignified expression, she finally died down and let her go.

The green robe was untied, and Pu Yang carefully lifted the left lapel.In summer, the clothes are thin, and most people only wear a single shirt. To prevent her identity from being leaked, Wei Xiu has an inner jacket inside the outer jacket.The inner garment was white, and it was already stained with blood. There was a large patch of mottled spots, and it was even spreading around.

Pu Yang took a look, and his eyes turned red.

Wei Xiu didn't know what to say to comfort her, the wound was very painful, and the flesh was stabbed forcefully, how could it not hurt.But she could bear it.Compared to this pain, she was more unwilling to see His Highness feel sad because of it.

"It's just a loss of blood, and no internal organs were injured." Wei Xiu explained in a gentle voice, her speaking speed was very slow, in a light, an understatement tone.

Pu Yang was even more distressed, she said: "Axiu, he really wanted to kill me at that time."

Wei Xiu still had that gentle tone, as if she was afraid that Pu Yang would cry if she made a loud noise, she said softly: "I know." That's why she stood in front of her.

Pu Yang nodded and didn't say anything else, her eyes were flushed, Wei Xiu looked at her worriedly, worried that she would shed tears in the next moment.

Pu Yang didn't look at her, his eyes were red, he quickly arranged Wei Xiu's clothes, and then walked towards the outside of the hall without stopping.

At first, her gait was a bit staggering, but as soon as she reached the gate of the temple, she seemed to be a different person, with a raised figure, a majestic posture, and a straight back, all of which were resolute, fearless, calm and noble.The hall door opened in front of her, and the light shone into the dark hall, Wei Xiu couldn't help squinting her eyes.

Puyang's voice sounded, as if it came from a distant place, the hall was completely silent, tens of hundreds of thousands of Yulin soldiers stood everywhere, but no one dared to speak out and questioned.

Wei Xiu listened intently, Pu Yang soon took over Yulin, she issued a few orders, summoned the ministers, and restrained the corpses of the emperor and King Jin, needless to say.Wei Xiu also heard that Pu Yang lowered his voice, and ordered the person closest to him: "Go to the imperial medical office to get the wound medicine." She paused for a moment, as if thinking that she didn't understand the properties of the medicine, and then quickly added, "Take a few more samples, and they will all be good."

Wei Xiu lowered his head and laughed.

When such a big event happened in the palace, the outside of the palace would not be unaware.Prime Minister Wang took the lead and led all the officials to see the emperor outside the palace gate.The Huben army guarding the gate was a little at a loss when they saw such a scene for the first time.

First they were civil servants of the third rank or above, and later they joined the military generals. Gradually, all the officials in Beijing came. They were dressed in similar uniforms, with neat crowns and belts. They stood outside the palace gate with aspirations and asked to see the emperor in unison.

The soldiers guarding the city wall were very nervous and sent people into the palace to deliver messages frequently, but there was no response.

Until the gatekeeper was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, someone came from the palace and ordered the palace gate to be opened and all the officials to enter the palace.

Prime Minister Wang and Grand Master Wei looked at each other, knowing that the general situation in the palace had been settled, they straightened their clothes and led the scholars and bureaucrats to the palace.

King Jin forced the palace because he wanted to be the emperor, and lived in the palace justifiably, instead of entering the palace with rebellious troops, burning, killing and looting. Therefore, after a military riot, the palace remained as it was, except for a few palace people who took advantage of the chaos and stole. Nothing was damaged.

Along the way, someone has explained to Prime Minister Wang what happened.When he arrived at the Xuande Hall, Prime Minister Wang knew that the emperor had passed away, and that the Great Wei was once again without a master.

In this way, the most urgent task is to establish a new emperor.This matter is very tricky.Xiao Dewen has no sons or younger brothers. Among the collateral lineages, the closest to his blood are five uncles, followed by many younger brothers.In theory, just choose one of these people.But Pu Yang would not agree.Then ask the eldest princess to proclaim the emperor, but Zhao Wang and others will not agree.

They had already given up, but the opportunity came again. For them, it is as precious as lost and found, and they will not give up easily.Prime Minister Wang was already thinking about whether he could shut up Zhao Wang and the others.

Outside the Xuande Hall, all the ministers gathered, either worried or discussing in low voices. Compared with the like-minded people outside the gate of Caicai Palace just now, now that the crisis is over, they are in chaos.

Without one person in charge of the overall situation, it is difficult to progress on any matter.Prime Minister Wang sent someone to invite the eldest princess.

The Eldest Princess took medicine for the consort in the Hanguang Hall.The injury is there, you can't do it to others, and Pu Yang doesn't want to do it to others.

"This is where I lived when I was young, you can rest assured here." Pu Yang placed Wei Xiu on the couch, made her lie down, and after treating the wound, covered her with a thin quilt to prevent her from getting up .

Wei Xiu's face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits, probably because the overall situation was settled, she didn't struggle to get up, and lay down according to Puyang's words: "Mr. Zhao, how do you deal with it?"

"Furthermore." Puyang said.

Sweep them together with the king of Jin and deal with them together. As for the evidence of the crime, it is not difficult to find the evidence if the charges are established.

"They all have disobedience, so we deal with it together so that there will be no troubles in the future." If Wei Xiu is healthy, Pu Yang may not be so tough, but when Wei Xiu is injured, Pu Yang refuses to leave any hidden dangers, let Wei Xiu In the future, she will take risks for her.

"Two days later, the Xuanjia army will arrive in Beijing, which will scare all the officials. In the middle of the capital..." Pu Yang suddenly remembered, "Jiao Yong..."

Wei Xiu raised her heart.

"He listened to you, why don't you find a suitable person to interrogate him?" Pu Yang continued.

Wei Xiu was a little at a loss, so His Highness didn't ask Jiao Yong, as a minister of the court, why did he obey her, a person with no official position?

Pu Yang didn't ask, nor did he intend to.She will not doubt Wei Xiu, Wei Xiu has done so much for her, she just thinks that she is not treating Wei Xiu well enough, so how can she doubt her?

Seeing that Wei Xiu was hesitant, he thought she was unwilling, so Pu Yang gently persuaded him: "Axiu, you are injured, it is not easy to run around, and there is no need for Jiao Yong to do anything, as long as the order in the capital is maintained, the rest will be fine." Just don't worry about it."

As long as he doesn't get in the way.

Wei Xiu agreed.

Another person came to invite him outside the hall.A country cannot be without a king for a day, the ministers were all anxious, and wave after wave of people were sent to respectfully invite the princess, Pu Yang saw that it was really hard to drag on, Fang covered Wei Xiu's quilt, He told her again not to let her get up before going out of the hall.

Watching her leave, Wei Xiu's heart was full and empty, she was happy that the princess believed in her, but also sad that her full trust was wrongly paid after all.Wei Xiu became more and more reluctant to tell the truth, but she knew that the more it dragged on, the harder it would be to deal with it.

This is where Puyang lived when he was a teenager, and now it seems that there is also her style.The decoration is simple, but each piece is exquisite, all from the hands of famous masters.

Wei Xiu looked around, sighed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She thought that she would not be able to sleep well if she was so full of thoughts, but unexpectedly she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already evening.The palace people prepared the dinner and brought it in one by one.

Probably because she was worried that she would not hear the news, Puyang kept Qin Kun here, without Wei Xiu asking questions, Qin Kun told all the progress outside.

Now, Puyang doesn't hide his ambition anymore.As soon as Zhao Wang and others entered the palace, they were captured by Yulin and put in the prison.The three of them refused to accept and complained that they were wronged, and the people sent to search the houses of the mansion found trespassing things from all three houses, and even exchanged letters with the staff, many of which were rebellious.

"So no one complained for the Three Kings?" Wei Xiu asked.

Qin Kun replied: "Yes, but with the evidence, it's hard for them to say anything." These were left by the few of them when they were still plotting for the throne, but Pu Yang said it was the evidence of adversary to King Jin. The ministers did not dare to say anything, the current situation in Beijing is dominated by the princess alone.

"His Royal Highness Zheng pleaded for the three kings, and His Highness agreed." Qin Kun said again.

Jin Wang usurped, deposed as a commoner, and was buried according to commoner's rites. The princess and her children were all guilty of the same crime and executed together.King Zhao, King Dai, and King Jing were rebels, deposed as common people, exiled to the frontier, and will never be forgiven.

As for other colluding officials, they will be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and Prime Minister Wang will be in charge.

Wei Xiu said with great interest: "Where is the new monarch?"

Qin Kun smiled: "The first emperor still has two highnesses left. Han Wangyuan and Tengwangzhan, the two highnesses went to the table together two hours ago and asked to leave Beijing to show that they have no intention of taking the throne." These two princes are still young , no heirs.The first few were all sinners, and the emperor's grandsons were also demoted from their father's crimes to ordinary people.

In the lineage of the first emperor, there is no male heir who can inherit the throne.There is no outstanding person among the clan who can compete with Puyang.

"Prime Minister Wang is on the table and invites His Highness to ascend the throne." Qin Kun said one by one.

Wei Xiu listened without interrupting.

"More than half of the ministers in the court seconded the proposal, imploring His Highness to take over the throne. There are also some who say that there has never been a female emperor and do not want to bow down."

"The ministers on both sides argued in the hall citing scriptures, and it should not be over yet."

This is also expected. A woman's claim to the emperor will always be hindered.Seeing Qin Kun's calm demeanor, Wei Xiu knew that although there were disputes at court, it was not so difficult to deal with.

The monarch is indispensable for a long time, at least tomorrow, there will be a result.

Wei Xiu guessed that the result would come out tomorrow, so she was conservative. That night, a new king was appointed in the Xuande Palace.

When Pu Yang returned to Hanguang Hall, it was nearly three o'clock, Wei Xiu was still awake, waiting for her to come back.There was a look of joy on her face, but it was not so obvious, but the palace servants behind her seemed happier than her.

Seeing this, Wei Xiu didn't ask any questions immediately. After Pu Yang washed up, he blew out the candles and asked, "When is the enthronement ceremony?"

"Tomorrow." Pu Yang replied, after finishing speaking, she was no longer the front and steady appearance in front of outsiders, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"All give in?"

"Yes, the situation is stronger than others, and they have to give in." Pu Yang turned sideways, facing Wei Xiu, excitedly, "The case of King Jin usurping the throne has not yet been concluded, and the three kings are involved in it, thanks to their years of fighting Ci, there are very few ministers in the court who have nothing to do with them, in order not to be swept into the case of rebellion, they have no choice but to give in and respect me as the emperor."

Pu Yang showed some complacency.Wei Xiu looked funny, touched her hair, Pu Yang leaned on her shoulder, and said softly: "It's really like a dream."

"Yes." It finally came true.Wei Xiu also found it difficult.She can be enthroned tomorrow, the overall situation is all right, and His Highness doesn't need her anymore.Wei Xiu has made up her mind, and will tell the truth tomorrow, "After the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, I have something to say to Your Highness..."

While she was talking, she turned her head and saw that Pu Yang was leaning against her and fell asleep soundly.

Tired for a day, he first entered the palace, then dealt with King Jin, and then dealt with the ministers for half a day until the position was settled.She is indeed tired.

Wei Xiu was startled for a moment, then smiled helplessly, pushed Pu Yang's hair aside, and kissed her on the face, full of admiration.

Pu Yang didn't sleep well, she had a dream.

In the dream, there was a war-torn palace, and the palace people fled everywhere with their burdens on their backs.There were corpses everywhere in the palace, some were lying in a pool of blood, some were scorched black by the fire, some were high-ranking ministers, and some were humble eunuchs.The temples have all collapsed, the thick and solemn pillars are lying on the ground, the brocade is covered with dust, and the golden tiles are broken. It is the end of the road.

Wei Xiu came in through the palace gate, behind her were many soldiers.A group of people went straight to Xuande Hall.

Pu Yang suddenly realized that this was the scene of the previous life, the period after Axiu invaded the capital and before she committed suicide.

Just like the last time I dreamed of Wei Xiu committing suicide on the city wall, this time the situation is also very clear.She could see Axiu's tightly knit brows and the undisguised hostility in her eyes.

There were dead bodies everywhere outside the Xuande Hall, Wei Xiu went inside indifferently as if she hadn't seen it.

Xiao Dewen was in the palace, he was wearing a crown, very solemn, but unfortunately he was pressed to the ground, unable to move.Hearing the sound of the wheelchair rolling over the floor tiles, Xiao Dewen hurriedly begged for mercy: "Wei Qing, spare my life, the throne is for you, Luoyang is for you, everything is for you, as long as I spare my life, it's all yours!"

Wei Xiu came in front of him and chuckled lightly: "You are the last member of the Xiao family, and only when you die can I get revenge."

Xiao Dewen struggled to raise his head, his face was full of embarrassment, he looked at Wei Xiu dully, and repeated stammeringly: "Big, big hatred?"

"Yes," Wei Xiu said indifferently, "You, the Xiao family, punished my Zhong family's entire family."

Xiao Dewen was stunned.But Pu Yang felt a piercing coldness, the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen.She looked at Wei Xiu's face, trying to find out the flaws of lying, but no matter how hard she searched, she could only see Wei Xiu's indifference and hatred from the corner of her eyes to the tip of her brow.

Xiao Dewen woke up from his stupefaction, he was like a drowning man grabbing a straw, he showed an ugly smile, and said repeatedly: "I have never punished the Zhong family, there is no Zhong family in this dynasty, Wei Qing, you must It was a mistake."

"It's not you, it's Xiao Yi." Wei Xiu seemed to have made up her mind to let him die plainly, or maybe this matter had been on her mind for too long, and she didn't want to hide it anymore, "You know that Luoyang City is as solid as gold." , why was I able to break into the city in just one day?" She didn't need Xiao Dewen to answer, she continued, "It was Jiao Yong, who opened the city gate. He was a teacher of my father, but he hadn't made a fortune yet. , my father wanted to train him, so he didn't borrow Zhong's name to him, so that it would not be known to outsiders. Fortunately, he survived."

"More than a hundred lives of the Zhong family, plus the many soldiers who escorted my father to the capital, you see, should I pay it back?" Wei Xiu took out a sword from her sleeve, it was a fish intestine sword, "I hate the Xiao family to the bone, you go In the end, I will expose your corpse to the wilderness, and the Xiao Clan Temple will also be burned, and as for the late emperor, I will make people kill you."

Xiao Dewen watched her draw the sword out of its sheath, trembling with fright, but this did not arouse Wei Xiu's sympathy, she still pierced the sword through Xiao Dewen's chest.

Xiao Dewen fell to the ground, struggling with a distorted face, but soon, he couldn't move anymore.Wei Xiu looked at him indifferently, at the moment Xiao Dewen died, she seemed to have aged suddenly.

Pu Yang only felt that the cold was down to his bones.

The dream was very long, and there would be more after that, but she was unable to read any more.She wanted to wake up, but she couldn't break free no matter what. The scenes were unfolding in front of her eyes, forcing her to look and know.

Until the end, until she opened her eyes, she found herself in tears.

Wei Xiu is by her side, she was hurt because of her during the day, she has always been so gentle, loved her, protected her, tolerated her, but why, in that dream, she became a descendant of the Zhong family.

Pu Yang's tears kept flowing, she obviously didn't cry, but she couldn't stop her tears.

Wei Xiu was still sleeping, she didn't feel anything, Pu Yang raised his hand, wanting to touch Wei Xiu's face, she gently, lest he wake her up.Her face is warm, her eyebrows are gentle, she is the Axiu she is most familiar with, and also the person she is closest to in the world.She didn't wake up, she seemed to be very relieved, even if she stroked her face, she slept peacefully.She is her pillow person, the only person she has ever loved in two lifetimes.

But why did she approach her.

"Axiu..." Pu Yang called her in a low voice, only to realize that her voice was choked with sobs, she quickly covered her mouth tightly, afraid that Wei Xiu would wake up, and she would ask her why she was crying.

The next day is the enthronement ceremony.

There are etiquette rules for every step, where to start, when to play music, and even which foot to step first.Time was running out, and there was no delay, but for some reason, the new king summoned Prime Minister Wang before the grand ceremony, and had a long secret talk with Xuande Hall.

Prime Minister Wang was also puzzled, wondering why the new king suddenly asked him about the Zhong family.

He just thought that she was already the emperor, and the first emperor had gone, and he sympathized with the Zhong family, so he vaguely explained why Zhonggong died.

Xinjun just listened, her expression was numb, as if she was so resigned to her fate, but also as if why she was so unwilling.Prime Minister Wang had doubts, so he didn't want to ask more questions.

Ritual music played outside the hall.

After the ceremony started, the ministers standing in front clearly saw that the new monarch was absent-minded.All the ministers panicked. His Majesty didn't pay much attention to such a grand ceremony. It's really not a good omen.It's just that the grand ceremony was solemn, no one dared to speak out, and no one dared to show anxiety on their faces.

The enthronement ceremony was held in Hanyuan Hall.The emperor ascended the throne here, respecting heaven and earth, proclaiming to the world, and accepting the worship of all officials.

It was almost noon when the ceremony ended.

After noon, the new monarch issued the first imperial edict, appointing his son-in-law Wei Xiu as the emperor's husband.

The author has something to say: the truth you have been waiting for.

I found out that after Puyang ascended the throne, she can no longer be called Puyang, because Puyang is a title.

Luckily I had a name for her ahead of time. She appeared in Chapter 1, her name is Xiao Hong.
