Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 336 Enthroned
Just after midnight, Chu Yu was awakened, put Qu You who was sleeping soundly in her arms, tucked the corner of the quilt, got up, dressed and washed, and tiptoed out of the room.

"My lord, the horses are ready." Ziyin came out from the dark.

Chu Yu turned her head and looked at Chun'er who was crouching on the tree. Seeing her smiling and beckoning, she turned around with confidence.

The servant at the outer door stepped forward, raised his hands above his head, and handed over his whip respectfully.

"In the past few days, has there been any change in the palace?" Chu Yu asked casually as he got on his horse.

"The subordinates have already set up a net in the city according to the prince's order. As long as the eighth prince dares to show up, he will definitely let him come and go." Ziyin replied respectfully.

Chu Yu nodded, his legs clamped into the horse's belly suddenly, and he headed towards the palace.

That night, the palace was brightly lit. Under the service of the palace staff, Chu Xu had already changed into a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. The collar, dragon claws and cuffs on the clothes were all made of gold silk , is the most luxurious Dragon Dagon among the emperors of all dynasties.

Chu Xu tugged at the collar, and smiled with satisfaction, "No wonder the business of Jinxiufang is good, and the craftsmanship is really extraordinary."

Luo Yu smiled slightly, and bowed respectfully, "Look at what the emperor said, it's not that Prince Rui managed the business properly."

Chu Xu nodded, and patted Luo Yu's shoulder with emotion.Life is indeed impermanent, after he ascends the throne today, he will be the monarch of the Great Chu Kingdom, with one man under ten thousand, I only hope that the ninth brother and his wife will not be alienated from him.

The sound of small footsteps came from outside the Qianqing Palace, interrupting Chu Xu's meditation, "Your Highness, the time has come!".

"Understood." Chu Xu responded and turned around expressionlessly.

Luo Yu bowed and opened the gate of the palace for Chu Xu, and he saw that the courtiers were already standing outside the palace, and the darkness stretched all the way.

Chu Xu glanced casually from the corner of his eye, seeing that there was no Chu Yu in the crowd, his eyes immediately dimmed.

"Your Highness, it's still early, you might as well wait for a while."

"The nine younger brothers and sisters are pregnant, so it is inevitable for the ninth brother to take care of them." Chu Xu smiled lightly. The enthronement ceremony was just a formality, and the heirs of their Chu family were not as important.

Bells and drums sounded suddenly, one after another, and after the three rings, Chu Xu boarded the dragon chariot that had been prepared, and headed towards the place of sacrifice.

Chu Yu led a purple-clothed cavalry and waited at the gate of Xuanwu. When he saw the dragon chariot passing by, he got off his horse and shouted, "My minister Chu Yu, see His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live long live!"

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

Chu Xu was overjoyed, and suddenly opened the car curtain, and saw Chu Yu kneeling on the ground upright, with a solemn and respectful expression.His throat tightened and he swallowed back the overflowing tears.

ok, ok...

The dragon chariot stopped at the gate of the city, Chu Xu walked up to Chu Yu, and helped him up with his own hands, "Ninth brother, this life is enough!"

Chu Yu hooked his lips, and his expression was filled with joy, "Brother Emperor, you can travel thousands of miles of land and mountains, and my servants will step down thousands of troops and horses for you."

Chu Xu patted Chu Yu hard with his hands, and walked back to the dragon carriage with firm steps.

"Let's drive..." Luo Yu was full of energy, unconsciously carrying a bit of arrogance.

Outside the Ancestral Temple, civil and military officials in court uniforms stood together, waiting for the king in their hearts with an attitude of anticipation. Following Chu Xu stepping off the dragon chariot, he slowly climbed up the sacrificial platform, grandly and grandly enthroned The ceremony officially opened.

On the high platform, the three animals were complete, and Chu Xu held incense in both hands and kowtowed to the heaven and the earth, telling the past emperors that the ceremony was over and the music arrived. From the waiting crowd below, a school captain came out with a long whip. The whip was Mi Duo, and the handle was long. About thirty centimeters, engraved with a dragon head.The school lieutenant shook it vigorously, and there were three popping sounds, and the noble clansmen of the royal family and all civil and military officials knelt down.

Zhang Liao held a bright yellow scroll in his right hand, picked up the corner of his clothes with his left hand, and quickly walked up to the high platform, standing in front of Chu Xu, "I will not recover from my illness today, and it is the destiny of heaven. He ordered the fifth son of the emperor, Chu Xu, to succeed to the throne, and all the royal families Follow the precepts of the ancestors and help with all your heart." After finishing the words, he closed the scroll and handed it over respectfully.

Chu Xu got up with the edict in his hand, faced all the people present, and shouted, "I obey the destiny, get the edict, succeed to the throne, and change the name of the country to 'Longyu'."

As soon as the words were finished, the King of Nanyang walked up to the high platform carrying a wooden box, and opened it carefully.I saw that there was a Panlong Jade Seal and a pure gold token in the box, which were the two things that were supreme in the world and represented the imperial power - the Jade of Chuanguo and the military amulet of the world's soldiers and horses.

The King of Nanyang smiled faintly, and handed the wooden box to Chu Xu himself.

Chu Xu took out the token, turned his head, "Where is Prince Rui—"

"My humble minister Chu Yu, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." Chu Yu knelt down and bowed.

Chu Xu handed the wooden box to Luo Yu, walked down the high platform with the token, and came to Chu Yu, "This token represents the millions of heroes of the Chu Kingdom, and I will give it to you today... "

Chu Yu was startled, and raised his head in disbelief.

Chu Xu patted Chu Yu's shoulder, and said emotionally: "Brother Yu, I put my life in your hands."

"Your Majesty, don't..." Zhang Liao stopped him.

"Why not?" Chu Xu turned his head and asked expressionlessly.

Zhang Liao took a look at Chu Yu, and felt a little uneasy, "The military talisman has always been in the hands of the kings of all dynasties, and there is no such thing as giving it to others. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

The ceremony is over, the will has been proclaimed, and he is now the legitimate emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom, so he doesn't need to listen to the old man's preaching anymore.Chu Xu smiled coldly, a bloodthirsty red light flashed in his eyes.

"Come here, Mr. Zhang disrespects the heavens and refuses to accept the monarch. Immediately detain him in the heaven prison." Chu Yu stood up suddenly, his eyes glanced at Zhang Liao coldly.

"You..." Zhang Liao shook his hands and stared at Chu Yu, "Your Majesty is enthroned today, how dare you be so presumptuous."

"I thought Mr. Zhang was crazy, but I didn't expect you to remember that His Majesty is enthroned today..." After speaking, Chu Yu smiled sarcastically, and looked down at the civil and military officials below.

"My emperor, long live, long live, long live." All the officials knelt down and shouted.

Zhang Liao's knees went limp, and he knelt down in front of Chu Xu, kowtowing his head in a 'bang bang bang'.

Chu Xu waved his hand wearily, and when the guards below took him away, he raised the corners of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile.Sure enough, the one who understands his thoughts best is none other than the ninth brother!

After the ceremony, Chu Xu walked back to the Dragon Chariot with the jade seal in his hand, and led all the civil and military officials back to the Hall of Qianqing.Sitting on the dragon chair, touching the armrest in his hand, he was filled with emotions, and even more relieved.

"I, inheriting the great cause, adhering to my father's kindness, and teaching diligently, meticulously. After taking office, I will work hard and repay my father's kindness. You and other officials, both civil and military, are worthy ministers. Xu, more luxuriant and new."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers shouted again.

Chu Xu glanced at Luo Yu, Luo Yu stepped forward knowingly, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Three days later, the mausoleum of the late emperor will be erected and buried in Jingshan Mountain!"

"My humble servant, please obey the emperor's order!"

Chu Xu rubbed his forehead wearily, and shook his head secretly. This emperor is not that easy to be, just dealing with civil and military officials is enough to hurt people, let alone balancing the forces of all parties secretly.

After the dynasty disbanded, Chu Xu kept Chu Yu, King Nanyang and Liao Zhongsheng behind to discuss the issue of concubine Mei.Now, he has become the emperor, and if the etiquette permits, he will obey his father's order and bury the remains of his mother and concubine with his father.

"My ministers see Your Majesty." Everyone knelt on the ground, their upper body straightened, their buttocks on their heels, and bowed their heads in salute.

Just as Chu Xu wanted to go down to support him, Chu Yu shook his head to stop him. He sighed and raised his hand, "Excuse me, let me be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone got up and stood one by one.

Chu Xu opened his mouth, suddenly feeling a little disappointed.In life, there are gains and losses. He got the position of the supreme under heaven, but lost the opportunity to have fun with them. He really ended up as a lonely family.

"Master Liao."

"My minister is here!" Liao Zhongsheng raised his hands, covered his head, and walked out of the crowd respectfully.

Chu Xu's eyes flashed, and he quietly calmed down, "Since I have ascended the throne, I will announce to the world that I will pursue my mother and concubine as queen, what do you want?"

Liao Zhongsheng's heart was shaken, and the tears in his eyes could not be restrained, and they burst out. He knelt on the ground with sobs, "The old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness."

"Grandfather." "Master Liao." Everyone exclaimed.

Good, good, Chen'er is so lucky, she should die without regrets!Liao Zhongsheng avoided Luo Yu's support and kowtowed excitedly.

Chu Xu lowered his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.The mother and queen passed away for many years, but no one dared to mention it in front of the father. If it weren't for the mistake of the nine younger brothers and sisters, their brother's road to power might have been even more difficult!
After some discussions, everyone decided to confer the posthumous title of Concubine Mei Liao Qingchen as 'Empress Xiaohuixian'.

After the discussion, everyone knelt down one after another.Chu Xu originally wanted to stay with Chu Yu for a while, but when he thought of Qu You who was pregnant, he waved him back as well.

Liao Zhongsheng thanked him a thousand times, and followed the crowd out of the Qianqing Hall.

"Grandfather, go slowly, Shaoling will go first." After Chu Yu finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the Xuanwu Gate.

"Hey, why so fast." Liao Zhongsheng looked up in surprise, but only saw Chu Yu's back.

King Nanyang smiled mysteriously and stroked his beard slowly.Although the servants of Prince Rui's Mansion were tight-lipped, he still got a hint of rumors, but judging by old man Liao's appearance, he was obviously kept in the dark.

"Teacher Liao, if you are free, you might as well sit in Prince Rui's residence."

Liao Zhongsheng waved his hand, "Although the old lady is old, she doesn't want to blame her, she should be more comfortable in her own house."

King Nanyang shook his head, and quickly walked out of the palace.

Liao Zhongsheng was a little confused, so when he was about to ask, he found that there was no one around him. He snorted softly and turned to look at Luo Yu at the entrance of the hall.

"Luo... Eunuch Luo." Liao Zhongsheng sighed softly, his eyes full of pity.

Luo Yu smiled lightly, his face was full of determination, he walked up to Liao Zhongsheng, and slowly bent over, "Teacher Liao, this old slave will let you know."

Through the bottom, through what bottom?

Liao Zhongsheng looked back and forth, seeing that there were no palace people walking around, so he approached Luo Yu.

"Slave is thinking, you must also be curious. Just now in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor clearly wanted to keep the prince, but let him go back to the mansion. Why?"

"why?"

Luo Yu clenched his fist with his right hand, put it against his mouth and coughed, "Last night, the dark guard came to report that Prince Rui and Princess Rui..."

Liao Zhongsheng felt a 'thud' in his heart, and reached out his hand to grab Luo Yu's lapel, "Something happened to girl Qu You, what's wrong with her?"

Luo Yu's face was pale from being strangled, he gasped heavily, he raised his head, and a gurgling sound came out of his throat.

Liao Zhongsheng came back to his senses suddenly, his face was full of apology.

Luo Yu walked through the ghost gate, but he didn't have the heart to tease Liao Zhongsheng anymore. He breathed out heavily, and said respectfully: "Prince Rui and Princess Rui are pregnant, and the fetus has not yet sat firmly, Your Majesty. I'm afraid the prince is impatient, so I didn't keep him." After speaking, he turned and went back to the Qianqing Palace.

Liao Zhongsheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.He didn't stop on his feet, and hurriedly ran out of the palace, his whole body was suddenly full of strength.

Double happiness, double happiness...

Chu Xu smiled knowingly, raised his eyes and asked, "Teacher Liao is gone?"

"Let's go!" Luo Yu walked to the table and brought the prepared hot tea to Long An.

Chu Xu looked at the piles of memorials on the table, his eyes darkened involuntarily.He picked up the vermilion royal brush, painted on it, and carefully corrected it.

"Luo Yu."

"The slave is here!"

Chu Xu raised his face and looked at him seriously, "From today onwards, only you will be by my side."

"Slave..." Luo Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say that there was Prince Rui and others, but was interrupted by Chu Xu raising his hand. He knelt on the ground respectfully, as firm and decisive as he had decided at the beginning!
Chu Xu stepped down from the dragon case and pulled Luo Yu up, his eyes were full of sincerity, "You and my brother will guard the century-old country of the Great Chu Kingdom!"

"Slave thank you Lord Ron!"

Chu Xu nodded, turned around and walked back to Long'an.

Luo Yu was at his side, grinding ink, making tea, and accompanying him quietly until late at night, when suddenly there was a quarrel outside the hall, he frowned slightly, and glanced at Chu Xu who was reviewing the memorial from the corner of his eye.

"Go and see who is outside the hall."

"Yes!"

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Xu led the girl Shui'er and came slowly with the cooked bird's nest, but was stopped by the guards who were waiting again, and her expression was a little annoyed.

"Presumptuous, polish your dog eyes and see clearly, this is Concubine Xu, the future empress." Shui'er stepped forward and shouted sharply.

The guard had no expression on his face, and came forward with his hands up, despite Shui'er's various insults, he stood still like a mountain, neither answering nor answering.

Shui'er's chest heaved in anger, and he stepped forward and slapped the guard across the face, "You dog slave, dare to despise your master, what should you do?"

The guard's eyes suddenly shot a cold light, and he looked at Shui'er for a moment, "The Qianqing Palace is the residence of the emperors of all dynasties, and women in the harem are not allowed to step in, and those who violate it will be killed with a stick!"

Fighting and killing is really a big dog.Shui'er's eyes were full of viciousness. She turned her head and looked at Xu Hui with aggrieved eyes, tears streaming down her face, "Ma'am, this slave dares to stop you, it's really hateful."

Xu Hui smiled faintly, turned around, and blessed her body lightly, "Brother Guard, please inform me."

The guard was startled, and hurriedly dodged sideways, his back shirt was completely wet with sweat, he raised his hand without a trace, and waved the cold sweat from his forehead.It turns out that I once heard people say that Concubine Xu in Yan Wang's mansion is very deep in the city and has the most serious thoughts, even the passed away Yan Wang is not her opponent.Seeing him like this today really deserves his reputation!
"The princess is serious, and the servant is just doing his duty faithfully."

princess?Xu Hui frowned slightly, but there was no trace of anger on her face.She turned her head, looked at the girl Shui'er beside her, and sternly shouted: "This is the guard on duty in front of the palace, how can you allow others to insult you at will, and why don't you apologize quickly? Save your life."

Shui'er was startled, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', put the bird's nest on his feet, and kowtowed vigorously.While knocking, weeping sadly, "Slaves deserve death, your lord has a lot, please spare me this time!"

The guard was angry in his heart, but he couldn't help the pair of master and servant, so he could only stand upright, no matter how Shui'er cried and howled, he didn't pay any attention to it.

The moment Luo Yu pushed open the door, he happened to meet Shang Shui'er's red and swollen eyes from crying. He raised his face to look at Xu Hui in front, and frowned slightly.The emperor ascended the throne today, but he didn't decree how to reward the harem. Thinking about it, it's not just Concubine Xu who can't sit still!
"What happened?" Luo Yu asked.

The guard clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, "Eunuch Luo, Concubine Xu wants to enter the palace!"

into the palace...

Luo Yu squinted his eyes, and swept across the soup cup on the ground without any trace.It is very convenient to bring things, but it is just a waste, "The side concubine should go back to the palace first. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne today, and there are still many important things to deal with. There is really no time."

Bah... A good general is not a good general, but he is about to be castrated and enter the palace. He really wants to degenerate!A cold light flashed in Xu Hui's eyes, she took a step forward and stared at Luo Yu firmly, as if she wanted to see through him.
