Hurry up and never sleep, but after ten days' work, Murong Huan returned to the capital from the southwest frontier, and when he saw the gate of the capital, it was the beginning of the Yin period, and the towering city gate was like a monster, immersed in the night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The group was tired, but there was no accident along the way, Chen Gang dismounted, walked to the city gate and knocked, and after a while, he heard the voice of someone talking inside, "Who is it?"

The armor-clad general on the city wall held a bow and arrow, facing the group outside, the emperor died, and when it was most chaotic, everywhere was more careful than usual, and the city gate was even more so.

"Open the door, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to Beijing!" Hearing these people's questions, someone shouted loudly.

lit the torch, carefully looked at the people outside the city gate, and after seeing Murong Huan, he finally confirmed, and immediately opened the city gate to greet "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing!"

Murong Huan hurriedly waved his hand to let these people get up, and hurried to the capital, this hour is the day when the courtiers go to court, when the first emperor left, his consciousness was still quite clear, because he knew that Murong Huan was still outside and could not come back, so he asked the cabinet to temporarily stabilize the situation and wait for the prince to come back and ascend the throne. Therefore, Qin Shangren and his six ministers all came to the cabinet early recently to stabilize the situation and wait for Murong Huan to return to Beijing.

Qin Shangren sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, thinking about the problem of harassment of the border by the Japanese who had been reported back before, the sedan chair suddenly bumped, he opened the curtain on one side, and saw a group of people galloping towards the palace gate on a fast horse, "It's the prince!"

"Pedestrians avoid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to the palace!" Sure enough, because they had to go to the court, the traffic was still relatively crowded at this time, and Qin Shangren recognized Murong Huan, and heard the young general who followed Murong Huan shouting, asking everyone to give way and retreat.

Although Murong Huan is still the crown prince and has not officially ascended the throne, everyone knows that he is the future emperor, and when he heard that he returned to Beijing, everyone gave way so that Murong Huan could return to the palace as soon as possible, and at the same time, he was also relieved that when the prince returned to Beijing, everything was about to get on the right track.

Murong Huan didn't care about the people around him at all, and his only thought at the moment was to hurry back to the palace, and when he passed through the vermilion palace gate, he saw that there were white curtains hanging inside and outside the palace, and the spirits had already been set up.

"Father!" stumbling to the palace of the dead spirit, Murong Huan finally cried.

"The prince is finally back, come on, take the prince down to change clothes!" The queen was dressed in white, her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, and after seeing Murong Huan, she ordered someone to change his clothes.

The crown princess was helped by the female official to the front of the prince, "Your Royal Highness has worked hard all the way, and the side hall has prepared plain clothes, Your Highness and the concubine should go over and change it!"

Murong Huan choked and wiped his tears, and followed the princess to the side hall, and when he entered the door, he saw a palace maid holding a cup of ginseng tea to Murong Huan, "The prince has worked hard all the way, drink a cup of ginseng tea!"

Murong Huan was also not polite, he stretched out his hand and took a sip and drank it, "When did my father go, and what will he leave before leaving?"

"At that time, only Qin Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao were among them, after the death of his father, the two elders announced the will of the first emperor, since the death of the first emperor, the Zhou family, the Wang family are in some commotion, King Yue closed the door because of his mourning, and the movement of King Zhou was not small!" The reason why the crown princess wanted to come over and watch Murong Huan change clothes was to tell him some things clearly during this time, so she also picked up the key points.

After Murong Huan heard this, he nodded, "I know, tell the trusted imperial doctor to prepare some refreshing tea soup for me!"

The crown princess is busy, and at this time, even if she hasn't slept for several days, she can only hold on.

When he changed his clothes and came out, he was crying, not only Murong Huan, but also his only remaining brothers, as well as a group of concubines, all of whom were crying in mourning.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to follow the will of the first emperor and ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

What follows is a very fixed process, no matter what thoughts these families have, it is impossible to show it, Murong Huan naturally could not immediately agree to his ascension to the throne as emperor, but expressed his deep sorrow and sorrow for the departure of the emperor, expressing that he was really reluctant to his father and did not want to ascend the throne immediately.

So the ministers below continued to kneel down and plead, refusing two or three times, almost, Murong Huan finally agreed, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor on the second day, and then the funeral of the first emperor, everything has rules and formulas, step by step.

"The ministers are knocking on the emperor!" In the Qianqing Palace, Murong Huan was dressed in a yellow robe and sat in the palace. looked at Qin Shangren and Zhang Zhang Youshan below.

"The two Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, and they have worked hard for many days! Give me a seat!" Murong Huan's voice was gentle, and he also respected the two of them very much.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Qin Shangren and Zhang Youshan hurriedly thanked each other before sitting down.

Looking at the two ministers in front of him, Murong Huan was a little embarrassed, the first emperor's teaching to him is still vivid, their dynasty, because of the strong power of the family, led to the decline of the monarchy, when Qin Shangren entered the cabinet, he was also opposed by countless people, and the first emperor still insisted on reusing Qin Shangren, in fact, it was for him to prepare. Although Zhang Youshan is also from a family, he is extremely unsuitable with the family because of his background, and both of these people were promoted by the first emperor under great pressure.

At the last moment, these two people also became the ones who saw the last face of the first emperor, no matter how cruel the first emperor was to his other sons, but for him, he poured all his attention and sincerity.

"I invited the two Aiqing here today for the funeral of the first emperor, and several ministers wanted to bury the concubines of the former dynasty who had not given birth to children, I don't know what the two Aiqing think, and I also want to hear the opinions of the two Aiqing about the canonization of the first queen and the canonization of the harem!" Murong Huan said.

When Qin Shangren and Zhang Youshan heard this, they exchanged glances with each other, "This is the emperor's family matter, and the ministers are ......."

"The two Aiqing don't need to shirk, there are no family affairs in the Heavenly Family, they are all state affairs!" Murong Huan interrupted the refusal of the two, "At present, the throne of Emperor I is particularly unstable, and my father only summoned two Aiqing before leaving, and asked the two Aiqing to help me!"

The previous three kings seized the throne, although it was only a small-scale military encounter, but when depriving the family of power, it was also harmful to the stability of the entire dynasty, the original emperor held out for a period of time, it would be more stable, but as a result, the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, if those families fought back, he must have the strength to suppress, Qin Shangren and Zhang Youshan are his reliance!

Qin Shangren and Zhang Youshan knew that this was the new emperor expressing his trust in them, so they immediately stood up and knelt down to express their loyalty, "The ministers will definitely do their best to live up to the emperor's high expectations!"

On the third day of October in the 35th year of Yongning, the third emperor of Yan State died, known as Yan Gaozong in history, on November 15, the crown prince Murong Huan ascended the throne, named Jiaping, Yongning Dynasty officially ended, and a new era began.

After that, on the issue of how to settle the first emperor and concubine, as well as the canonization of the biological mother and concubine, the first big court meeting after Murong Huan's accession to the throne began!
