Chapter 119 Etiquette of the Son of Heaven
"Dong dong dong dong..." The bells and drums at the Meridian Gate shook the sky, and the heavy sound shook the sky and the earth, like a sudden thunder resounding through the sky, almost instantly awakening the people who were still asleep inside and outside the imperial capital.

That was the drumbeat of the urgent assembly of all Imperial Guards belonging to the Son of Heaven, including the Huben Army outside the city and the Habayashi Army inside and outside the palace.

An hour ago, the Huben army, which was frightened by the new emperor's escort chariots and horses outside the city, was already in the imperial city less than half an hour after Xie Changting gave the order to "meet the emperor on the street outside the imperial city at Yinshi". After gathering under the feet, it has been nearly an hour in the heavy rain.

Therefore, the sound of bells and drums resounding through the sky, at this time, has another meaning, representing the highest etiquette for meeting the emperor.

On the street outside the imperial palace, more than a hundred thousand people knelt down at the same time, and the thunderous shouts of long live could still be faintly heard even in the palace as far as thousands of feet away.

In the middle of Yinshi, the violent wind gradually stopped, the lightning stopped, and the heavy rain gradually slowed down and turned into a light rain. Three thousand purple-clothed riders were escorted in front of the hall, and one hundred thousand Yulin troops also assembled in front of the Jiuhua Hall. Meridian Gate After the outer bell and drum rang nine times, it fell silent.

The [-] Yubayashi soldiers knelt in unison under the rain curtain, and the surrounding area was silent. The [-] iron-blooded and serious Yubayashi soldiers under Zi Yu's command shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live! "

Outside the Jiuhua Palace, the princes and highnesses who had been kneeling for half an hour after being ordered by Zi Yu to take off their umbrellas were stunned by the huge momentum, almost fell into the water, and were forced to kneel for half an hour in the heavy rain His anger was instantly shaken without a trace, turning into an eggplant beaten by frost, gone.

In the Hall of Nine Flowers, Cang Hao listened to the loud noise outside, his gaze swept across several people, and he raised his eyebrows: "Whose idea is this?"

When Xie Changting gave the order outside the city, Cang Hao had already driven into the city for a long time, so he didn't hear it.

Xie Changting calmly lifted his robe, knelt in front of the imperial case, and said in a calm voice, "It is Changting who is good at making ideas, please give me punishment from the master."

Cang Hao snorted coldly: "Does this king want to go out in a palanquin and walk around inside and outside the palace, so that everyone can see the holy face and pay their respects?"

Of course it's impossible, if the honorable master is really allowed to go out for a walk in the heavy rain, Xie Changting will probably wipe out all those who can see the holy face, Yixiu thought to himself, always felt that this person's loyalty was too paranoid.

Before Xie Changting could speak, Li Youran, the fourteenth-year-old grandfather, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this young master's actions. According to the rules, when the emperor ascends the throne, he has to accept three kneelings and nine kowtows in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The imperial edict was promulgated, indicating that the emperor is the true son of heaven. Luanyi guards guarded the emperor and the imperial edict came out of the Taihe Gate, and all officials walked out of the Meridian Gate from Zhaode Gate and Zhendu Gate on both sides of the main entrance, and placed the imperial edict in the Dragon Pavilion. Carry it to the top of the city tower to promulgate. Because the emperor accepted the Jade Seal of Chuanguo 11 years ago, the etiquette is a bit inappropriate at this time, but it is necessary for all officials to kneel down to worship the emperor. The imperial army belongs to the emperor's private guard It is even more reasonable to pay homage to the emperor. If the emperor punishes this son with this reason, the old minister will not accept it."

Fourteen stood aside, stupefied by his grandfather's remarks, but the last sentence also scared him enough.Although he didn't follow Cang Hao as a child, two years is enough for him to understand the nature of this Ninth Brother. He seems to be easy to talk to. If he really wants to punish someone, no matter what is wrong or right, how can you not accept it?
In front of Brother Nine, all the worldly etiquette and rules are imaginary, and the rules he made himself are the rules that everyone around him must carefully remember even if they die.

There is only one fact in front of us this time. Unless necessary, Cang Hao does not like such tedious ostentation. As for the rules from ancient times, how can Cang Hao pay attention to them? It is the biggest mistake to make decisions without his consent.

Brother Nine thinks you are wrong, it is useless for anyone to say you are right.

This time Fourteen secretly slandered his ninth brother's domineering in his heart, while that time Cang Hao raised his hand and ordered Xie Changting to stand up.

"It's not an example."

No displeasure could be heard in the faint voice. Facts have proved that although Cang Hao is domineering, he does not discriminate between right and wrong. The reason why Xie Changting did this is naturally clear in his heart. Although he has secretly controlled the court for 11 years, after all Yu Da To most people, he is still a stranger.

Once the Murong family was destroyed, Xie Changting knew that if he wanted to focus on the world without any worries in the future, he must first let everyone know who is the real master.

Everything that happened tonight in the storm will be unforgettable for all those who participated in it.

Li Youran looked at the peaceful and refined Xie Changting, his eyes were full of admiration. He has gone through seventy years of life, struggled in the courts of the rivers and lakes for decades, and met too many people. Naturally, he can see that Xie Changting is extraordinary.It is really rare for a man like this to lose his brilliance at such a young age like a jade in the rough. If the emperor has such a person who is loyal to him, why worry about the instability of the country and the loss of the world?
"Can you tell me your name, sir?"

Xie Changting's expression was the same as before, calm and unfazed, and there was no gratitude to Li Youran for helping him speak on his face, he said lightly: "Xie Changting."

Li Youran was surprised: "Xie Changting, the number one martial artist 11 years ago?"

Ziyu and Yixiu looked over at the same time, obviously quite surprised, but Shisi frowned, never having heard of such a character.

He is only this year, and he was a kid 11 years ago. Xie Changting disappeared less than a year after his debut, so he naturally has no way of knowing.

"Eleven years ago, Mr. Xie's brilliance in the rivers and lakes is still unforgettable to some people. They never thought that the old man would be lucky enough to see him today. He is really gratified. Even if he retires, he will have no regrets." After finishing speaking, he sighed for a long time. .

The corners of Fourteen's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandpa, don't pretend, I'm afraid I'm tired of fighting with Murong Ting all these years, I wish I could leave the imperial court and go home to enjoy the family relationship as soon as possible, long sighs and short sighs are really detrimental to your stature A mighty image."

"You son of a bitch, are you looking for smoke?" Li Youran felt a little melancholy in her heart, and immediately flew into the sky after Shisi's few words.

Retaining the title, undiminished salary, and returning to seclusion, Li Youran felt a little bit ashamed and entangled in his heart. Isn't it a bit unethical to take money for nothing? It seems to violate his principles of life.

However, after thinking about it, Cang Hao was not in the court these years, and he dealt with Murong Ting and the Queen, wasted a lot of time and energy, his hair was gray, so it was right to take some money from him.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt at ease.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Youran's expression changed, she looked at the king in the hall, and said with a very serious expression: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, you should call yourself 'Zhen', why haven't you changed your mind at this time?"

Cang Hao glanced at him lightly, and said calmly: "Because this king doesn't like it."

In a word, the old man almost vomited blood because of choking.

The most important rules are like Ziyu, the least fear of death is like Xie Changting, and there is also Yixiu who can't change the word "朕", even Yue Xiao and Mo Li, each of them is as careful and deep-minded, who didn't pay attention early When it comes to this question? It’s just that even if they know, no one dares to speak out, and Cang Hao himself doesn’t know?
So what if you know? Since the master said he didn't like it, could it be that they said "this is the rule", a common topic, maybe Cang Hao frowned, and really came to give them a lesson about "what is the rule" immediately teaching class.

They also understood why Cang Hao ordered Xie Changting to control the age when selecting officials.

A lot of old people usually represent old age.

Cang Hao is absolutely different from any emperor, he is not even just an emperor, to them, apart from the status of master, if it is not a matter of age, he is more like a master or a father. Xie Changting, the others were all taught by Cang Hao himself.His ability, his character, and his temper all determine his specialness as an emperor.He will only act according to his own preferences and rules, and will not compromise anyone or anything.

Therefore, before Yujia, those old and pedantic people who often used "the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken" or "sages say" could only stand and admire the flowers.

"Master, do you want to see those princes and ministers? If the shower continues, I'm afraid everyone will have to stay in front of the Jiuhua Palace." Yixiu asked.

It has been an hour since those people were ordered to be the king in front of the Jiuhua Palace, and it was drenched in strong wind and heavy rain. I am afraid that more than half of their delicate bodies will fall down tomorrow.

See what they are doing? Cang Hao stood up and said calmly: "Order everyone to go back, and the documents appointed by the six ministers will be sent out immediately, and the rest, you can figure it out yourself. Fourteenth, send someone to take it to the pavilion in a sedan chair Go back home."

"Wait, wait, Your Majesty..." Li Youran smiled, "Well, I heard that the Emperor returned to the palace this time and brought back a woman with extraordinary skills. I wonder how the Emperor plans to arrange it? Please inform the old minister of this girl's identity and family background, the old minister will make some preparations first, and the auspicious day will be held for the Concubine Conferment Ceremony, which can be counted as retirement, and the old minister will feel a little bit of the emperor's joy. What does the emperor think?"

Cang Hao smiled lightly: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own plans in my heart."

Li Youran nodded: "Yes, the old minister is a little anxious. The emperor has just returned, and there are still many things waiting for the emperor to deal with. The concubine is not in a hurry. The old minister will collect more portraits of the daughters of noble families when he has time. Let the emperor choose some satisfactory ones to fill the harem, there has been no new blood in the palace for a long time." After saying that, he bowed and did not look at the expressions of the people after hearing these words, and said: "retire, old minister. .”

Fourteen hurriedly said: "The minister is also leaving." He walked out with his grandfather.

After a long silence, Xie Changting said calmly: "The master intends to make the last master the queen?"

"No." Cang Hao's expression did not change, and his expression was also indifferent, he only gave these two words briefly, and obviously didn't want to say more about the others.

Xie Changting didn't ask any more questions, looked at Nanfeng Nanyun who had been silent on both sides of the case, and said softly: "It's getting late, master, let's rest early."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate, Ziyu and Yixiu also retreated silently.
