Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 691 The Regent

It's the day, the world is silent, and the mountains and rivers are weeping.

On this day, the whole country mourns, and all the people live in mourning.

In the palace, there was a solemn and solemn scene, with white banners hanging around the palace, and the palace servants and waiters were all dressed in sackcloth.

The entire imperial city was shrouded in a gloomy mist.

According to the etiquette system, the prince had to guard the spirit of the late emperor for three days and three nights, and during these three days, he would not eat or drink.The first emperor had four sons, but at the end of the day, only Ma Jian remained.In the mourning hall, he was completely paralyzed, kneeling in front of the coffin indifferently.

There was a little hatred in the melancholy eyes.

He didn't expect that in the end, his father would pass on the throne to his sixth younger brother.

This is what led to Ma Jing's death.

"Father, are you satisfied now? The sixth brother accompanied you. If you see him under the Nine Springs, can you rest in peace?" He whispered to the coffin.

He was distressed.

I feel sorry for the only person in the world whom he treats sincerely, and now he has left him.Looking at the dense smoke from the brazier, his expression became more and more indifferent.Since then, there is no one in this world who he can care about.

Three days later, the late emperor's coffin was guarded by hundreds of officials and transported to the imperial mausoleum.

The mighty funeral procession lined up for more than ten miles.

There are hundreds of people in the harem, and those who have no heirs are either buried in the imperial tomb or sent to the nunnery to become a nun.Only those concubines who had conceived children for the first emperor were eligible to stay in the palace.

There was constant crying all the way.

At the end of the funeral, the chief of ceremonies issued a decree: During the national funeral, the common people are forbidden to feast and marry for a hundred days, and all officials wear mourning.For three years, Southern Chu would not engage in wars, civil engineering, or diplomacy.

One month later, the new emperor ascended the throne.

Mo Zhanhua personally led all the officials and knelt down to congratulate him.

If Ruijing hadn't come to the door in person today, he would never have come anyway!

After the congratulations, the new emperor pardoned the world, except for those who committed heinous crimes, they all received the favor of the new emperor and regained their freedom.

At the end of the ceremony, Ruijing came to the palace with the two edicts left by the late emperor.Although Ma Jing burned down the edict of the first emperor to establish the new emperor, he hid two other edicts in advance.

Seeing the edict of the first emperor, Ma Jian had a somewhat ominous premonition.

But in front of civil and military officials, he could only ask Ruijing to read it out.

"Mo Zhanhua listens to the order." Ruijing shouted.

"The minister is here." Mo Zhanhua walked out of the queue in plain clothes.

"Following the heavens, the first emperor said: The king of war, Mo Zhanhua, has a bright heart and a heart, is loyal and protects the country, has both morality and courage, and is unparalleled in the world. From the day the new emperor ascends the throne, Jin will be the regent, and he will have 30 elite soldiers of the war king. The new king. Within ten years, the military power cannot be taken away, and the throne cannot be abolished. This is it."

Hearing this, Ma Jian's eyes widened immediately.

It's a big joke!
When he succeeded to the throne, he asked Mo Zhanhua to be the regent, so what would he do as an emperor?
Hearing this decree, Mo Zhanhua was somewhat surprised, but at that time, the first emperor wanted Ma Jing to succeed him. Ma Jing was young and needed help, so he was appointed regent for ten years.I am afraid that the first emperor never expected that it was his third son Ma Jian who finally ascended to the throne.

After receiving the imperial edict, the corners of Mo Zhanhua's thin lips curled into a sneer, and he kowtowed to thank, "I accept the edict."

The civil and military officials who didn't know the inside story were obviously surprised by the late emperor's will.

But at the same time, they were also interested in the second will.

The first emperor actually made such an astonishing move to let Mo Zhanhua be the regent. The second decree will definitely be a shocking news!
Ruijing took out the imperial decree, swept his eyes across the crowd, and finally fell on Feng Jingyuan who was standing in the last row.He was originally a guilty minister, so he was not qualified to come to court, but it was this Eunuch Rui who specially sent someone to invite him here.

"Feng Jingyuan accepts the order."

When Baiguan heard this, he immediately exploded.

Feng Jingyuan appeared in the main hall today, everyone was surprised, and now they asked him to accept the order, they thought they heard it wrong.

Ma Jian on the dragon chair also looked confused.

Let Mo Zhanhua be regent, he was already furious, and now Feng Jingyuan came out.

Who allowed him to enter this hall?
Feng Jingyuan ignored the strange eyes of everyone in the court, walked forward slowly, knelt down in the center of the hall, "The guilty minister is here."

　The prince is regent, it's Ma Jian's turn to make trouble
