"Quick! It's still dirty here! Wipe it clean!"

"Oh, it's placed crookedly, and it's all rearranged!"

"Not enough red silk? Why don't you go buy it soon!"

"Dragon robes must not be sloppy, they must be embroidered carefully!"

Everyone in the capital is preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

The residual blood inside and outside the palace gate has been washed away, and the entire imperial city has a brand new look.

The white jade steps outside Guangde Hall are back to pure and flawless.

The embroiderers of Shangyi Bureau are busy day and night.

The people in the capital were all beaming, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons, as if it was a New Year's festival.

When the state capitals in Dasheng heard the news, the people also cheered and clapped their hands and laughed.

Especially Gyeongju.

The people in Qingzhou City were so excited that they fainted!

When the news reached Prince Qing's mansion, the Wenwan walnut in King Qing's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and he rolled all the way without finding it.

Butler Feng thought to himself: This is the prince's favorite.

He bent over to pick it up, smiled happily and said, "My lord, when are we leaving for Beijing?"

King Qing kept his stunned posture unchanged.

Butler Feng: "..."

Forget it, just give the prince a little more time to react.

"Hahahahahaha!" A hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "My son is really extraordinary!"

Princess Qing is heroic and valiant, with a happy smile on her face.

She strode into the main courtyard, and quickly ordered the servants: "Go and prepare the chariots and horses! Set off early tomorrow morning!"

The servant was also so excited that he couldn't help himself, and after a reply, he quickly retreated.

When I was leaving the hospital, I accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell on my stomach.

Really painful and happy.

The officials of the Gyeongju General Office were already so excited that they threw up their fists and bare their sleeves, speaking incoherently.

Yang Guanghuai and Fan Yusheng were relatively calm, but from their slightly trembling hands, we could see the ups and downs in their hearts.

As the deputy head of the general office, when Lou Yu is away, they are responsible for all affairs of the general office.

Fan Yusheng calmed down, and said to the officials above the deputy ministerial level: "My lord called me to Beijing, we can't lose face of my lord."

When the new emperor came to the throne, the clans, civil and military officials from all over the country would congratulate and present gifts.

As the prince's direct line, they will definitely receive special attention from other people, so they have to come up with something different.

Yang Guanghuai said with a smile: "A few days ago, I had a conversation with Yuan Daochang. He said that he had made a new gadget and was debugging it. It must have been successful."

"Very good."

Lou Quan said with a smile: "Although the road construction cost a lot of money before, but in the past six months, the treasury has been filled a lot, so you don't have to worry about the cost."

Even if she spends all of her treasury, she still wants to give brother the best!

She is the Minister of Finance and Lou Yu's biological sister. Everyone has always respected her.

Now that the prince is going to be enthroned as emperor, the woman in front of him is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Dasheng, and they dare not neglect even more.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Lou is so proud!"

Fan Ke said: "No matter how many gifts you all want to offer, Fan can send them to the capital safely and quickly!"

Everyone laughed.

Qingmo Bookstore worked overtime to publish a new issue of "Gyeongju Xunbao" as a supplement, and all the pages were praising the benevolence and wisdom of King Dongan.

Yuezhou.

Concubine Yue was so busy preparing the congratulatory gift that her feet never touched the ground.

Lou Zong couldn't help persuading: "It's almost the same as before. I have never seen you so entangled in giving gifts to the emperor before."

"How can this be the same!" Princess Yue glared at him, "I think King Dong'an will definitely be a good emperor, why don't you want to give him more gifts?"

Lou Zong felt sore in his heart.

"I think you are protecting him because of the newspaper."

Princess Yue tilted her head, "Speaking of which, he is also my nephew, shouldn't I protect him?"

"It should be protected!" Lou Zong snorted, "But no matter how precious the gifts you prepared, they are not as good as mine."

Concubine Yue was suspicious: "You still have treasures that I don't know about?"

"Oh, it's not what you think..."

Beijing.

While the city was bustling with activity, Tang Cheng's head was hanging high on a high pole outside the city, receiving thousands of spats from the passing people every day.

The head is preserved by a special method, so it will not rot in a short time.

Ning Enhou Mansion.

Xie Ce was lying on the bed with medicine all over his body.

Both Tong Shi and Xie Mao were by the couch.

He was rescued by a Taoist priest, and his life was saved after medical treatment, but his body suffered too much damage. I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, so he can only take good care of him.

But he doesn't regret it.

Xie Mao smiled and told what he saw and heard when he was in the army, and Xie Ce and Tong Shi were amazed.

"No wonder the King of Dong'an was able to attack the city so quickly." Tong sighed, "No one in this world can compete with him."

Xie Ce has been in the army for many years, but he has never seen the miraculous weapon Xie Mao was talking about, so he couldn't help yearning for it.

He really wanted to meet.

"However, that child is a bit pitiful." Tong sighed again.

After King Dong'an entered the imperial city, he ordered people to search for the "Prince" left by the late emperor, but found that the "Prince" had been killed by the traitor Tang Cheng, so he announced it to the world.

Therefore, Tang Cheng's crime was a little deeper.

No one suspected that King Dong'an had tampered with it, because it was completely unnecessary.

The first emperor's edict made it clear that King Dong'an's ascension to the throne was justified, and there was no need to do extra things.

On the contrary, it was Thief Tang, who killed the first emperor and his youngest son in order to become emperor himself, which was very reasonable.

All accepted it.

But in fact, the "Prince" did not die.

After Lou Yu entered the imperial city, he ordered people to search the palace, and found that Concubine Tang Gui had hanged herself in Luanfeng Palace, and the baby boy was fast asleep.

Lou Yu asked people to find out the origin of the baby boy, and returned the baby boy to the family that lost the baby in a reasonable manner.

As for Concubine Tang's daughter, she was taken care of by Tang Cheng who hid in Tang Mansion.

After hearing that Tang Cheng was defeated, all the servants of the Tang residence ran away, leaving only a baby girl.

When Lou Yu's people found her, she was so hungry that she was crying.

The baby girl was sent to a shantang.

Lou Yu asked the people in Anbu to do these things, and the rest of them didn't know about it.

The enthronement ceremony is scheduled for the sixth day of June.

According to the system of etiquette, after the first emperor came to heaven, the successor had to stay awake for 27 months before he could truly proclaim himself emperor.

Due to the special status of the emperor, the 27th month was replaced by the 27th.

But a country cannot be without a king for a day. In many cases, the successor does not even have to stay for 27 days, but only needs to ascend the throne before the spirit.

In this case, because it is still in the period of filial piety, music cannot be played during the enthronement ceremony, so it can only be set instead of made.

After 27 days, the Yuan can be changed to Jianxin.

However, Lou Yu does not have these problems.

Lou Bing is not his father, and his blood is far away, so there is no need to stay for 27 days.

Moreover, Lou Bing was killed by Tang Cheng on the eighth day of May, and it has been more than 27 days since the sixth day of June.

Before the sixth day of June, clansmen and dignitaries from all over the country rushed to the capital to congratulate.

From the capital up to the imperial palace, down to the courtyard, everyone is extremely busy.

Lou Yu is trying on the dragon robe in front of the mirror.

The embroiderers of Shangyi Bureau have superb skills, with fine stitches, and the golden dragons on the clothes are lifelike.

Feng Erbi waited on Lou Yu to dress, his eyes were full of joy, and he praised repeatedly: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, the prince looks even more majestic."

The enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, so the people below still call Lou Yu "Prince".

Lou Yu is now 19 years old, already an adult.

Due to regular exercise, he has a slender figure, and the dragon robe is a waist-tight style, making him appear taller and taller, with an unparalleled elegance.

Lou Yu teased him with a smile: "Before I was busy with enthronement, I haven't had time to ask you, do you want to stay in the palace and continue to take care of me?"

The joy on Feng Erbi's face suddenly disappeared.

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he said pitifully, "Your lord, don't you want to be a slave?"

Lou Yu sighed: "Of course I hope you will continue to take care of me, but the men in the palace, except for the emperor and the imperial guards, are the only servants left."

Feng Erbi: "..."

"I really miss you, but I don't want you to suffer from that..."

Lou Yu pretended to be entangled and melancholy.

Feng Erbi was dumbfounded.

He wanted to stay with the prince, but in this way, he had to cut off his roots; if he didn't cut off his roots, he couldn't stay in the palace.

How can this be good? !

Lou Yu was amused by the expression on his face, and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm just joking with you, don't be afraid."

"My lord," Feng Erbi regained his composure, clutching his chest and said, "I'm almost scared to death by you."

However, what the prince said is indeed a problem.

Feng Erbi worried: "It's really against the rules for Nuruo to stay with the prince."

"What rules?" Lou Yu tilted his head and chuckled, with confidence and arrogance in his eyes, "The rules in this world are all made by people, and they can naturally be broken by people. Isn't the divorce system also a rule passed down from the ancestors? "

Feng Erbi smiled happily, "Your Highness is really kind to slaves!"

Lou Yu smiled.

Anyway, there will be no concubines in the future palace, it is no different from when they were in Prince Qing's Mansion.

On the fourth day of June, King Qing Chejia, clan relatives from all over the country, officials above the Deputy Ministry of Qingzhou, and important officials from various state capitals all arrived in the capital.

Lou Yu, dressed in royal royal uniform, went to the palace gate to greet his parents and eldest sister.

When King Qing got out of the carriage, his eyes turned red when he saw Lou Yu standing in front of the palace gate.

The last time he came to the capital was nine years ago.

Nine years ago, he was bullied in the capital, but he never thought that one day he would come to the capital again with such an honor.

He is so proud!I was so touched!

Princess Qing and Lou Quan also burst into tears.

"A Yu has lost weight, so it must have been hard work, right?" Princess Qing held Lou Yu's hand and said, "Mother brought you a lot of supplements from Qingzhou, and Mother will tell the cook to do it in a while."

Lou Yu said with a helpless smile: "Mother, you are too tired to travel, so let's go to the palace to rest first."

Turning to Lou Quan again: "My sister has worked hard these days."

Lou Quan shook his head with a bright and generous smile.

"It's not hard, I just feel happy."

The family entered the palace affectionately.

Lou Yu had already had the Shoukang Palace tidied up for Prince Qing and Princess Qing to live in, while Lou Quan lived in the Changle Palace.

"I don't know when Ah Ling will arrive." Princess Qing said with emotion.

The A Ling she was talking about was Lou Yu's second sister, Lou Ling.

Lou Yu smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, Zhannan is far away from the capital, and the letter hasn't been delivered yet. I have already prepared a residence for the second sister, and when she comes to Beijing, I will definitely not neglect her."

As soon as the words fell, Feng Erbi reported outside: "My lord, Lord Fan and Lord Yang are already waiting outside the Palace of Qinzheng."

Princess Qing hurriedly said: "You are busy with government affairs, don't gossip with us anymore, go quickly."

Lou Yu apologized, and took Feng Erbi to Qinzheng Hall.

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, all the officials of Qingzhou's direct lineage were waiting respectfully. When they saw Lou Yu coming, they all knelt down and saluted.

"My subordinates kowtow to the prince!"

Lou Yu said with a slight smile, "Come in."

He stepped into the Hall of Qinzheng and sat on the chair behind the imperial case.

This chair is just an ordinary seat, Lou Yu is reluctant to use the previous dragon chair, and is asking the general supervisor to build a new dragon chair.

On the day of ascension to the throne, the whole palace had to look like new.

Fan Yusheng was the first to speak: "My lord, now that the clansmen and important officials from all over the country have arrived in the capital, do you want to promulgate the late emperor's edict?"

Before ascension to the throne, the promulgation of the late emperor's edict was a prescribed procedure.

Lou Yu nodded: "This matter has been handled by the officials of the Ministry of Rites."

Several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Rites had taken refuge in Tang Cheng before, and when the news of Tang Cheng's death reached the capital, they fled overnight.

Fortunately, there are still a few low-ranking officials in the Ministry of Rites, and they are still capable of promulgating the will.

Just hosting the enthronement ceremony may be a bit powerless.

Fan Yusheng had already gotten to know the officials of the remaining ministries in the capital, and after thinking about this, he couldn't help asking: "My lord, will the enthronement ceremony also be handed over to the Ministry of Rites?"

"Of course." Lou Yu asked in surprise, "Is there anything wrong?"

Fan Yusheng is from a family of civil servants, and he has dabbled in these etiquette systems, not inferior to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Those low-ranking officials of the Ministry of Rites have never seen a big scene. What if they mess up the enthronement ceremony by mistake?

This is the enthronement ceremony!

He considered it carefully and said: "Returning to the prince, this is a big matter. The remaining officials of the Ministry of Rites have never presided over such a grand event. If there is a slight negligence, it may affect the smooth holding of the grand ceremony."

Lou Yu stared at him in silence, and couldn't help laughing: "It's reasonable, but the Ministry of Rites is now vacant, where can we find more people?"

"My lord, this subordinate is willing to recommend himself." Fan Yusheng said, "Although this subordinate has never done it before, his grandfather has participated in hosting such a grand ceremony, and this subordinate has been fascinated by it and learned a little."

Lou Yu asked back: "You say that you are only superficial, how dare I hand it over to you?"

Fan Yusheng: "..."

"Deputy Chief Fan will not hide anything from me, will he?"

Fan Yusheng smiled helplessly: "You can't hide anything from the lord, and this subordinate wants to surprise the lord."

Of course he knew that his actions could not be hidden from Lou Yu, and he said that just to lead out the following.

"What surprise? Let me guess first."

Lou Yu pretended to think for a while, and then said, "Could it be that Daoist Yuan made something interesting?"

Although he has left Gyeongju for many days, any movement in Gyeongju is still under his control.

Yuan Xiangdao is in charge of the research and development of Zhentianlei, and his identity is special. As long as he makes a little noise, Anbu will report to him.

"Since the prince can guess this, why not guess what it is?" Fan Yusheng asked with a smile.

Lou Yu said: "What Daoist Yuan made should be an explosive like thunder?"

"My lord is wise."

Fan Yusheng continued: "The subordinates believe that the prince can successfully eradicate the traitors of the party, one is because the prince is the destiny, the other is that our army is strong and strong because of the prince's hard work, and the third is because of such a magical weapon as the thunder."

"So?" Lou Yu asked with interest.

"That's why my subordinates think that the new product developed by Daoist Yuan has the same root and origin as Zhen Tianlei, so it's better to set it off at the enthronement ceremony to show the great achievements of the prince."

Lou Yu knew very well that what he was talking about was fireworks.

The fireworks were not developed by Yuan Xiangdao independently, but were developed by Lou Yu who guided Yuan Xiangdao a long time ago.

His original idea was that the entertainment activities of the common people during the New Year and festivals are relatively monotonous, so it is better to come up with something new to make the common people happy.

So he asked Yuan Xiangdao to study fireworks.

Unexpectedly, the first use of fireworks will be at the enthronement ceremony.

Zhentianlei is a weapon that hurts people, and it is not suitable to perform at the enthronement ceremony.

But fireworks can.

Lou Yu naturally would not refuse this proposal.

The enthronement ceremony is only once in a lifetime, and it is not bad to do some unprecedented tricks.

Lou Yu nodded and said: "This matter is according to what you said, but remember to pay attention to safety and not to hurt the people."

"Subordinates obey!"

Lou Yu asked, "What else is there for you?"

Yang Guanghuai came out and said, "My lord, how should the late emperor's posthumous title be determined?"

Lou Yu has already thought about this question, so he said, "How about using '感'?"

Yang Guanghuai: "Good."

Emperor Jiaxi, kind and benevolent is short-folded, and it is also appropriate to use Huai characters.

After discussing some trivial matters, everyone left the Palace of Qinzheng.

Lou Yu rubbed his temples.

Since entering Beijing, he has been busy with government affairs, and Huo Yan has been busy with rectifying the army and disposing of prisoners. The two have not seen each other for several days.

He called Feng Erbi: "Go and ask Commander Huo to enter the palace."

Feng Erbi immediately stepped back and went to invite someone.

Huo Yan went to the palace just in time for dinner.

"A Yu, are you looking for me?"

The man stepped into the Hall of Qinzheng and stared at Lou Yu's expression.

All subordinates and officials respectfully address him as "Prince", and will continue to be "Your Majesty" in the future.

But Huo Yan has his own persistence.

As long as Lou Yu doesn't let him change his name, he will not change it.

But the person in front of him is about to become the lord of the world, Huo Yan felt a little uneasy after all.

Lou Yu's expression didn't change at all, it was even milder.

He got up to meet Huo Yan, seeing that Huo Yan's eyes were slightly black and blue, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "Didn't you rest well in the past few days?"

Huo Yan's heart was sweet and warm, and he took advantage of the situation to hug him in his arms, smelling the light fragrance of Lou Yu's body, and said in a muffled voice: "I haven't seen A Yu these days, so I can't sleep at night."

There was a bit of grievance for no reason.

The identities of the prince and the emperor are different after all.

Huo Yan understood this truth, but he couldn't restrain his extravagant hopes.

He even selfishly thought that it would be fine if Lou Yu didn't become the emperor.

Lou Yu heard his hidden uneasiness, so he let go of him and said, "Dinner is coming soon, you come with me to Shoukang Palace for dinner."

"Shoukang Palace?" Huo Yan asked, "Is this A Yu's family banquet? Is it appropriate for me to go?"

Lou Yu immediately put on a straight face: "In your heart, I'm not your family?"

"Of course not!" Huo Yan hurriedly explained, "I mean, King Qing, Princess Wang and the princess just came here today, and they must just want to have dinner with A Yu. If I go, wouldn't it be bothering you?"

Lou Yu said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have eaten with you more often, and they are used to it. You are already in the palace, and now it is time to eat, so you can't let you go hungry Are you leaving the palace?"

"Okay," Huo Yan held his hand, "I'll listen to you."

The two came to Shoukang Palace hand in hand.

Seeing Huo Yan, the three of King Qing were all taken aback for a moment.

Lou Yu said very naturally: "I just talked with Ah Yan, and seeing that it was getting late, I left him to have dinner together."

Princess Qing was the first to react.

She said with a smile on her face: "This is what it should be. Commander Huo has worked hard these days, and he seems to have lost some weight. Today, he just made tonic soup. Let's sit down and have a taste."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the servant to add a chair.

Huo Yan bowed politely: "Thank you, Princess, for bothering me."

The elders are respected, and King Qing still sits at the head.

The rules in their house were not so strict, so Lou Yu chose a seat at random, and pulled Huo Yan to sit down with him.

King Qing and Princess Qing are very excited today.

Under the excitement, it is inevitable to drink too much.

Not only was he greedy for drinking, but he also dragged others to drink with him.

Lou Yu's status is unusual now, and Lou Quan is not good at drinking, so the heavy responsibility of accompanying drinks naturally falls on Huo Yan.

King Qing got drunk, reached out and patted Huo Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Huo, you are so good at fighting, you must have a good drinker, tonight we will not go home until we are drunk!"

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Princess Qing said to him from the side.

Huo Yan's expression was sincere: "My lord has orders, I dare not disobey."

He usually doesn't drink much, but tonight he drank a lot.

Lou Yu didn't want to interrupt his father's "elegant spirit".

The result of this connivance is——

Huo Yan was really drunk.

He leaned on the back of the chair, his face flushed slightly, and his star eyes were erratic and blurred.

King Qing was lying on the table unconscious.

Princess Qing quickly helped him up, intending to send him back to rest, but when she passed by Lou Yu, she froze suddenly.

Before she could think about it, King Qing hummed again regardless of his posture, so she could only frowned and suppressed her thoughts.

If she read correctly, Huo Yan and A Yu were holding hands just now.

Huo Yan was very obedient when he was drunk, and he didn't make trouble at all.

Lou Yu left him in the palace to rest overnight.

Of course, they slept in separate halls.

On the sixth day of June, the sky was vast and cloudless.

The enthronement ceremony was held in Guangde Hall.

The civil and military officials are arranged on the left and right, from the bottom of the steps to Chengtianmen.

The white jade steps glowed with dazzling luster.

At the top of the jade steps, a brand new golden dragon chair is dignified and majestic.

The sound of praise for officials is like a bell.

"Happy—"

All of a sudden, the court musicians played Danbi Dale together.

Lou Yu, dressed in the emperor's crown, walked slowly towards the white jade steps on Luan's car.

All palace gates and main roads are strictly guarded by Imperial Guards.

On both sides of the royal road, Luan Yiwei is solemnly displayed.

Banners block out the sun, and drums and music sing together.

Luan stopped in front of the white jade steps.

The praise officer spoke again.

"Ascension to the Throne—"

Surrounded by his attendants, Lou Yu stepped up the jade steps step by step to the dragon chair.

Turn around and sit down.

"kneel--"

The clan and all the officials kneel on the left and right sides of the royal road.

"One kowtow—"

"Two kowtows—"

"Three kowtows—"

Everyone has to kneel down three times and knock down nine times.

Under the command of the Chanting Officer, they offer their loyalty and reverence to the high-ranking monarchs.

Just after everyone stood up, a drum sounded suddenly.

The unique strength and rhythm of the drum sound spread outside the palace gate, and the long-awaited fireworks were ignited at the same time.

"Bam—"

A loud noise, like thunder, echoed over the capital.

Inside and outside the palace city, both the civil and military officials and the common people were all taken aback.

Hundreds of officials need to maintain their demeanor and not whisper, and the common people don't need it.

After the shock, comes the surprise.

Countless fireworks bloomed over the imperial city, adding a few touches of bright and gorgeous beauty to the blue sky.

It is not as bright as the sun and the moon, but it shines like a shooting star, which is amazing.

"My God, what is that!"

"so beautiful!"

"It's so beautiful! This is celebrating the enthronement of the Holy Majesty!"

"I've never seen it before, only when the Holy Majesty was enthroned, it really is the destiny!"

On the sixth day of June in the second year of Jiaxi, Dong'an Wang Louyu became the emperor, and his reign name was Zhaoqing.

Rumor has it that on the day Emperor Zhaoqing ascended the throne, a colorful thunder light fell from the sky, which was unspeakably miraculous.

Of course, since fireworks were introduced to the people, such rumors have been self-defeating.

But the people are still willing to believe——

That is Shenguang.
