Chapter 424 It’s November 18th, a big day celebrated by everyone.
Three days ago, a notice was finally posted in the palace, stating that in three days, the Eighth Prince, His Highness Chu Xuanyun, would hold a coronation ceremony for the new emperor at Xuandemen in the palace, announcing to the world that he would be enthroned as emperor.
Although it is late autumn and early winter, there is still a slight chill on the streets of the capital, but the eunuchs and maids who are constantly coming and going in the palace are already sweating profusely, setting up lanterns and cauldrons, whether in the palace or the entire capital, Serious and vigilant officers and soldiers can be seen everywhere.
The palace is also lively, but the excitement in the palace is different from that outside the palace.
The coronation ceremony of the new emperor can be said to be the most solemn ceremony in the world.
The officials coming and going looked solemn.
But if you look carefully, you can see that there are so many ministers with unusual expressions on their faces, and there are actually many people standing behind them.
There were few sergeants, and the sergeants pressed their weapons as if guarding prisoners.
It attracted some of the princes and ministers not far away to look askance at him, and some people also talked in low voices.
Looking around, on the high platform not far away, the noble emperor's aura was even more magnificent and shocking by various ceremonial guards.
I saw the eighth prince Chu Xuanyun wearing a golden dragon robe, and his biological mother Song Guifei who was also dressed in luxurious clothes.
The empress and empress stood together in front of the Xuande Gate, but the place where the empress of Song Dynasty stood was still some distance away from Chu Xuanyun who was in the center of the high platform.
On the other side of the high platform, stood the current Empress Dowager of the Xining Dynasty, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and Wu Jue, dressed as a eunuch, holding a golden square box to protect him, just waiting for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.
After the summons, the Empress Dowager personally awarded the Emperor's seal.
In front of Chu Xuanyun, palaces and pavilions stood tall and magnificent, magnificent and resplendent.
The courtiers on both sides fell to the ground and knelt down in obeisance to the loud shouts of the officials from the Ministry of Rites who presided over the enthronement ceremony.
The sky was high and the clouds were vast.
Seeing that everyone around him was surrendering at his feet, Chu Xuanyun couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky, with a hint of a rebellious smile on his lips: "This throne finally belongs to me."
Chu Xuanyun's low chuckle was hidden among the shouts of the ministers, and he couldn't help but grinning wider and wider.
"Eighth Prince, how does it feel to be an emperor?"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from nowhere, interrupting the entire strict and orderly ceremony of the new emperor's coronation.
A majestic question with a smile came from far away, and the words contained wild disdain. , seemed not to take the Eighth Prince Chu Xuanyun, who was about to ascend the throne as Emperor Xining, at all.
The ministers suddenly looked flustered.
They all immediately stood up and looked towards where the voice came from, and started talking among themselves.
However, I saw the ministers who were seemingly being guarded by a group of sergeants, all showing surprises and even looking forward to the scene.
I saw the person who came was wearing black armor, with a bright red cloak blowing in the wind.
His posture was majestic, his momentum was breathtaking, and his mouth was With a proud smile, there is a kind of unrestrained and wanton frivolity between his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his domineering attitude is revealed.
He is actually the most relied-upon general of the Xining Dynasty, and the first military prince of the Xining Dynasty, An Guohou.
Zuo Yuanfeng "General Zuo Yuanfeng Zuo" "It's General Zuo" "When did General Zuo return to Beijing?"
As soon as Zuo Yuanfeng appeared, the expressions of both Chu Xuanyun, who was about to ascend the throne as emperor, and Concubine Song, who was standing behind the high platform, suddenly changed.
But seeing that Concubine Song was extremely alert, her expression immediately changed, and she seemed to be surprised.
She smiled and walked a few steps forward to the side of Chu Xuanyun, who was still stunned and flustered, and looked under the high platform.
Zuo Yuanfeng said: "It turns out that General Zuo has returned in triumph.
I am very happy.
General Zuo has defeated the Qiang and relieved our danger in the northern border of Xining.
He has worked hard and made great achievements.
When the new emperor's enthronement ceremony has passed, the new emperor will definitely reward General Zuo and his family with great rewards.
Warriors on the battlefield" But Zuo Yuanfeng snorted softly and said without any concern: "It's really more happiness than happiness.
Isn't it chaos?
I thought that the Eighth Prince and Concubine Song definitely don't want to see me at this moment."
Zuo Yuanfeng ignored the soldiers who gradually gathered around him and the chaotic crowd.
The official slowly walked towards the high platform, followed by a group of soldiers in black armor.
When Chu Xuanyun and Song Guifei saw the many soldiers behind Zuo Yuanfeng, their expressions were almost imperceptible.
They didn't know that Zuo Yuanfeng deliberately entered the capital in advance and quietly without telling everyone, and appeared in the new emperor's presence.
What is the intention behind the grand ceremony of enthroning the throne?

Concubine Song secretly glanced at the high platform.
The astute people had already noticed that the situation might have changed.
They led the imperial guards who had been controlled by Concubine Song and her son to raise their weapons and slowly approached Zuo Yuanfeng.
Just waiting for someone to give the order, he would rush forward and capture Zuo Yuanfeng and others.
Zuo Yuanfeng seemed to be completely unaware.
He raised his hand and loudly ordered the people behind him: "Fence this place for me, general" Suddenly, a group of people behind Zuo Yuanfeng were seen scattered neatly.
Before the imperial guards in the palace could react, the people brought by Zuo Yuanfeng quickly surrounded the high platform.
The speed and momentum made everyone present feel frightened instantly.
Those black-clad sergeants holding broadswords and spears are not like these palace guards at all, but real soldiers who have experienced bloody battles on the battlefield.
"General Zuo, what are you doing?"
At that moment, a minister asked Zuo Yuanfeng in a low voice.
Zuo Yuanfeng's status in the palace is only higher than that of the Eighth Prince Chu Xuanyun, but he is a minister.
Why did he come to disrupt the almost destined enthronement ceremony of the new emperor today?
Could it be that Zuo Yuanfeng wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish himself as king?
The ministers present glanced at the Eighth Prince, who was wearing a yellow robe, and then looked at Zuo Yuanfeng, who seemed to be leading an army to force the palace.
They thought that Zuo Yuanfeng held almost all the troops of the Xining Dynasty in his hands, and all of them were loyal.
The expressions on the ministers' faces changed rapidly.
Zuo Yuanfeng seemed confident.
He stood under the high platform with his arms folded.
He looked up at Concubine Song and the Eighth Prince Chu Xuanyun, mother and son, standing side by side on the high platform.
He raised his chin slightly and said: "You must not have expected that I will show up at this time.
Do you think that I will be on my way back to Beijing at this moment?"
Chu Xuanyun looked angry at this moment.
Seeing Zuo Yuanfeng's rude attitude and not paying attention to him and Concubine Song at all, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Zuo Yuanfeng, what do you mean by this?
You are so rude in front of me and my concubine.
Do you want to rebel?"
Hearing Chu Xuanyun's question, Zuo Yuanfeng couldn't help laughing and said contemptuously: "At such a time, Concubine Song and the Eighth Prince are still pretending to be in front of the civil and military officials of the court."
Ignoring the ministers around him, Zuo Yuanfeng suddenly jumped up to the high platform, waved away the gathering imperial guards with one palm, approached Concubine Song and her son, pointed at them and said loudly: "Everyone, today's situation is the result of Concubine Song and the Eighth Prince's mother and son.
They colluded to return to the Qiang and interfered in the rivers and lakes, causing danger in the northern border.
They deliberately hoped that the emperor would die in the northern battlefield, and now they have launched a civil strife to kidnap the empress dowager.
With His Highness the Crown Prince, he intimidated the ministers into silence, and still wanted to ascend the throne as emperor in such a grand manner, but up to now, there is no trace of shame in him.
He is really ambitious
