The news that Ji Quan was going to interrogate Li Danqing at the enthronement ceremony soon spread in Wuyang City.This news can be described as earth-shattering, and the people in Wuyang City have probably been talking about this matter for the past few days.An emperor was assassinated by someone else in the palace, such a thing was unheard of and unseen in the past.That Li Shizi can do some unexpected things as always, and this one is more than one by one, which is unexpected, unimaginable.Everyone was also talking about why Li Danqing had such the courage to assassinate the emperor of Wuyang in the Divine Palace.And why did he do it?
Is it because of a stubborn nature, so on a whim?
Or has it been planned for a long time and the resentment is too deep?
There are many opinions in the market, but no matter who says it conclusively, it is still difficult to make a conclusive conclusion.And the more confusing the truth of the matter, the easier it is to arouse the curiosity of the do-gooders.So, when the news spread, Wuyang City was almost boiling.…… The enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled on the second day.The ceremonial scene is grand, starting with the Imperial Gate of the Gods, connecting the inner city and the foreign ministers' Imperial Front Street, the long street of thirteen miles is full of brightly armored soldiers standing on both sides, they are lined up on both sides, holding spears, waist across the broadsword, head tied with red tassels, very mighty.The two sides of the street are full of people who come to watch the ceremony, and Wuyang City on this day can be empty alleys for tens of thousands of people in addition to this Yuqian Street.Ji Quan's dragon chariot is inlaid with gold and jade, and the armor soldier who opened the way in front of the honor guard rides a majestic white horse, weighing a hundred people, each of which is tall and mighty, and the pace is the same, almost the same.The number of eunuchs and palace maids who followed behind him was as many as 1,000 people, not to mention the civil and military officials who did not come to watch the ceremony in advance.This kind of scene is rare to see last time, after all, the change of imperial power is not frequent, and the last time, when Ji Qi won the throne of the Son of Heaven, because the throne was somewhat improper, and after succeeding to the throne, he was busy dealing with the rebels in southern Xinjiang, so he did not hold such a huge ceremony at all, but simply went through the motions.This time, for most people, such a grand scene is really the first time since the beginning of the world.Ji Quan, who was sitting on the dragon bowl, was proud at the moment, he looked at the people around him with a smile, enjoying their trance with peace of mind, he had waited too long for this moment.He squinted at Ji Fei at the front of the team, his eyebrows raised slightly.When he traveled to the streets today, he specially arranged for Ji Fei to walk in front of the team and hold the sword for him.Wuyang is still martial.In the early years, Wuyang Taizu used his armor to rise to the top, overthrow the previous dynasty, and establish Wuyang Tianxia.Although Wuyang's records of the previous dynasty have always been scarce, and even regarded it as a taboo, at the same time, he has always respected Taizu's martial arts.The kings of Wuyang in the past dynasties will inherit Taizu's sword-Zhencangshui.It is rumored that there is a sword spirit here, and the sword spirit cultivation is strong, almost comparable to the strong man at the level of the martial monarch.It's just that although the rumors are said to be miraculous, at least in the memory of the people of Wuyang City, they have never seen the style of this sword, and more often, this Zhencang Water is probably only a symbol of imperial power, which has been passed down, and holding this sword means that you are the orthodox imperial power.For example, more than ten years ago, when Ji Qi succeeded to the throne, the person who held this sword for him was Li Mulin, the general of Tiance.But Ji Quan naturally couldn't trust his half-brother, and his heart was always thinking about how to make Ji Fei disappear from this world.And the reason why he gave such an honor to Ji Fei is to show his generosity as an emperor, even if he liquidates Ji Fei in the future, he can also tell the world that he treats him sincerely, but he insists on going his own way, and he has to rebel, so he has to kill him.What are you going to ......
The reason is even simpler, just simply wanting to disgust and disgust this guy who has fought against himself everywhere in the past and competed with himself everywhere.He is about to ascend the throne as the victor, but Ji Fei can only hold the sword for him and watch him enjoy the support of all the people.Although Ji Fei had his back to him at this moment, Ji Quan could still imagine that the expression on Ji Fei's face should be extremely wonderful at this time.Although Ji Quan is not a smart person, there are not many discrepancies in his guesses about his imperial brother at this time.Ji Fei, who was holding the ancestral sword of the Ji family, walked at the front of the team, but his brows furrowed as he looked at the cheering crowd.He made a very bold and risky decision - when he learned the news that his father was killed by Li Danqing, Ji Fei was stunned.Before that, he had planned a lot.There are not only about how to deal with Ji Quan, but also how to get favor from Ji Qi and win the crown prince, and even prepare for the worst, such as how Ji Quan should act after Ji Qi's death.But it takes time to make these plans slowly deduced and implemented, rather than done in one fell swoop.Ji Qi's sudden death completely broke Ji Fei's plan, Ji Quan successfully mastered the Divine Palace, everything in the Divine Palace, and Ji Fei's situation instantly became extremely difficult.Ji Quan sent a large number of people to surround his mansion gate, although there were not too many restrictions on his personal freedom, but his every move was monitored, he wanted to contact Southern Xinjiang or mobilize the forces in Wuyang City will fall into Ji Quan's eyes, for Ji Quan, who has already grasped the opportunity, as long as he has the slightest change, he will be used as a reason, at least he will be imprisoned in the prison, or at worst, he will be in a different place, and even want to see his mother, it is also more difficult.Ji Fei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and at this time, a eunuch who was usually by his side suddenly secretly handed himself a note at lunch, the content of the note was very simple, nothing more than a few words: If you want to save yourself, save others first.Ji Fei realized that this seemed to be some extremely important information, so he finally found an opportunity to be alone with the eunuch under the pretext of resting in the palace gate.Only then did he know from his mouth that the messenger of this news was a little eunuch under him, and the little eunuch gave him this note and told him that if he wanted to get out of the predicament, he had to save Li Danqing first, and as for how to save it, the method was very simple, that is, to find a way to persuade Ji Quan to try Li Danqing in front of everyone at today's ceremony.This is actually not a particularly difficult thing to do, and yesterday Ji Fei still took some trouble to get Ji Quan to agree to this.But the trouble is that if Li Danqing has no way to exonerate himself in this trial, Li Danqing will certainly lose his life, and Ji Fei will also have to pay a great price - yesterday he made such a suggestion to Ji Quan, which seemed to force the palace, but in fact it also expressed another meaning: After the completion of this enthronement ceremony, he will change his name to call Ji Quan His Majesty, that is to say, he recognizes Ji Quan as the Emperor of Wuyang, and once he does this, it is equivalent to sealing all his retreats, and he really wants to do anything in the future.
That's also a misnomer.Therefore, at this moment, Ji Fei actually had some regrets in his heart.Although he trusted the eunuch who handed over the news, the little eunuch who passed the news to him was unknown, and the more he thought about it last night, the more wrong it became, so he asked people to check the little eunuch, but the little eunuch seemed to have evaporated from the world, disappeared, and could not be found no matter how he looked for it.This is a trap set by Ji Quan for him, making him jump inside.After all, he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't imagine the possibility that Li Danqing could get away with this predicament.However, his own proposal not only put him in a dilemma, but Ji Quan was able to make Li Danqing personally admit his act of killing the monarch at today's ceremony, and it could not be said that it could also increase his prestige several times.Thinking of this, Ji Fei was secretly annoyed, and yesterday he was indeed carried away by the death of his father and lost his judgment, so he believed this unknown news so easily.Now he can only secretly hope that things will not go the way he feared.…… The team moved slowly, and finally passed through the inner city and came to the outer city.In the south of the city, at the junction of Baijiang Street and Tianci Street, it is where the temple of the Wuyang Dynasty is located, Ji Quan took the civil and military officials to the temple, burned incense and prayed according to the rules, announced the ancestors and the ancestors, and then worshiped the heaven and earth, the process was cumbersome, and boring, and as ordinary people, everyone naturally did not have the opportunity to go to this royal place to observe, so they could only wait anxiously in the temple.There is a huge high platform outside the temple, and after the sacrificial event is over, Ji Quan will bring the civil and military officials here, take the ancestral sword in front of everyone, and then accept the worship of everyone, which can be regarded as the real sense of the process of completing the ceremony and ascending the throne.Compared with this matter, the people who came here early to watch around obviously wanted to see the scene of Li Danqing's trial that would also be held on this high platform before Ji Quan's coronation.After looking forward to it for more than an hour, there was finally movement in the direction of the temple, and the gate of the temple was slowly opened, and a team of civil and military officials could be seen walking towards this place from a distance.The crowd began to be noisy, and everyone whispered."
Do you think you will really bring that Li Danqing to the stage for trial today?
It can't be a rumor, right?
”"This is not right, I heard this news from my relatives who were on an errand in the palace, and many people know that it should not be fake.""
In public, this is the first time in the world, right?""
What's that?
That Li Danqing did such a thing, both horizontal and vertical are dead words, I guess it is just a formality!
”"That's right, then Li Danqing is really bold, and he is the only one in the world who can do such a thing."
The people were discussing the matter enthusiastically, but the group of people not far away frowned, compared to most of the people crowded around the high platform, the place where this group of people was not only there a bench for them to sit in, but also surrounded by armor soldiers, seeing that they were surrounded by them, so as not to disturb them in the slightest.Such preferential treatment just makes people feel that this group of people should be noble-born royal relatives and nobles in order to have such courtesy.But in fact, the group of guys sitting in it almost had worry written on their faces, and they looked up in the direction of the high platform from time to time, ignoring the emperor's honor guard that gradually came out of the temple, and put it on the high platform where a few officials stood sparsely, as if they were looking for something.Naturally, they are not outsiders, they are Qingzhu and others from the Shizi Mansion.They did not come to watch the ceremony voluntarily, but by order of the imperial court, and the armor soldiers who were standing around them naturally did not come to protect them, but to monitor.Even in a sense, they are also bargaining chips, as a bargaining chip to threaten Li Danqing, who will be tried later, so that Li Danqing should not say anything that should not be said.After all, in Ji Quan's opinion, Li Danqing came to surrender by himself, and Ji Quan was somewhat worried that Li Danqing, who was bent on death, would say something terrible, which would damage the royal majesty.And at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and a large group of soldiers escorted a prisoner car from outside the street to slowly drive into this place, and the people spontaneously got out of the way, and in the prisoner car, there was a figure in messy clothes, whose feet and hands were chained by huge chains, that was the protagonist of today, Li Danqing!
Seeing this scene, the faces of everyone in the prince's mansion changed, and Liu Yanzhen subconsciously clenched the black water knife in his hand, and his body was almost subconsciously about to stand up.But Qingzhu on the side stretched out his hand first and pressed it back."
Senior Sister Wen."
Liu Yanzhen looked at Qingzhu in confusion.Before coming, everyone had prepared for the worst, and Qingzhu's obstruction made Liu Yanzhen a little confused."
Wait."
Qingzhu said: "Since the prince asked us to pass on the news, he must have his own plans, let's see the situation first, this step is a last resort in the worst case." ”Liu Yanzhen frowned, in her opinion, there was probably no worse situation than this, but it was about Li Danqing's safety, Liu Yanzhen put away her usual jumping temperament, she sat down and temporarily suppressed her impulse, but the hand on the handle of the knife did not let go.At the same time, the prisoner car was slowly opened, and Li Danqing, who looked embarrassed, was pressed by several armor soldiers and sent to the high platform, and at the same time, Ji Quan, who had completed the sacrifice in the temple, also came here surrounded by a large team.Ji Quan, who was dressed in a gorgeous robe, first nodded to the people in the audience, and then came to the high platform surrounded by several people, he looked at Li Danqing as a victor, and after the official read out the impassioned speech, the dragon chair was moved behind him.The officials of the three mansions and nine divisions also came to his side, and the sword and pen officials also sat on the side, all eyes fell on Li Danqing at this time, and the people around him also stopped their noise, and the scene suddenly fell silent, they knew that today's highlight was coming.Ji Quan sat down, looked down at Li Danqing, who was forced to kneel by several armor soldiers, and squinted his eyes and asked."
Li Danqing, let me ask you."
Ji Quan's voice was low, with a bit of majesty that he never had before."
Did you kill my father?"
