Chapter 24 24

Cui Hu looked at Wang Yi, feeling a little guilty in his heart, Wang Yi was arrested more or less with his responsibility.

Qi Zhu died, as the first commander of Qi Zhu's guards, he was more or less responsible for this, and this responsibility might make Wang Yi's head fall to the ground.

It is also for this reason that Cui Hu feels guilty about Wang Yi, if he hadn't killed Qi Zhu, then Wang Yi would not have fallen to this fate.

Seeing that Wang Yi didn't speak, Cui Hu said sorry to Wang Yi again and lowered his head.

It's the day of Qi Xiaobai's enthronement ceremony.

The generals and ministers of the Qi State have all come to Yingqiu, and they want to meet the new master of the Qi State.

Qi Zhu's enthronement ceremony was more anxious, when he ascended the throne, it was Qi Lufu's violent death immediately after the enthronement succession, did not shout the ministers and generals of Qi State, but simply shouted a few generals and courtiers of the camp to hold the enthronement, and Qi Xiaobai gave the post to the generals and ministers of Qi State, he wanted to tell everyone in Qi State that he Qi Xiaobai will be the monarch of Qi State in the future.

Qi Xiaobai's enthronement ceremony was held in the 'Fushan Temple' in Yingqiu City.

Qi Xiaobai put on the Seven Dragons robe that only dukes and monarchs could wear at this time!

The emperor wears a nine-dragon robe, symbolizing the emperor's ninety-five supreme, and the eight dragon robes are worn by the emperor's brothers and princes, of course, in addition to the princes, there is also a person wearing the eight dragon robes, that is, the most powerful Chu king among the princes.

And the State of Qi is a principality, he is not as powerful as the State of Chu, and he does not dare to call it a kingdom, so the monarch can only wear the Seven Dragons robe!

Qi Xiaobai stood in front of a large incense burner, he was waiting for time, it was hot, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and muttered in his heart, why didn't he start yet?

At this time, the ministers and generals are entering the field one after another, behind Qi Xiaobai is a ladder, and there are three people standing at the bottom of the ladder, Jiang Ai is standing on the left, Sun Bin is standing on the right, and Guan Zhong is standing in the middle.

And there was a staircase behind the three of them, standing Tian Dan, Zhang Heng, and Bao Shuya, as well as a man wearing the same black eagle armor as Zhang Heng and an old man wearing a black phoenix official robe.

Zhang Heng followed Uncle Bao's suggestion to participate in Qi Xiaobai's enthronement ceremony, and also took this opportunity to completely take refuge in Qi Xiaobai's door and be loyal to Qi Xiaobai.

According to the size and rank of the official position, it is lined up in the back row until the entrance of the temple, this time the magistrates of Qi are here, and the magistrates are not here, after all, the official position is too small, it doesn't matter if they come or not, as long as the powerful officials come.

Wei Dexian walked behind Qi Xiaobai at this time, holding a gorgeous black silk cloth: "The time has come, and the enthronement ceremony begins now!" ”

"The death of Xianggong, I am very sad, the son succeeded his father, but the son of Xianggong is still young, unable to govern the country, manage the country, I can't put Qi Guosheji in the hands of a young child, it should be the second brother to succeed to the throne, but the second brother is in Yandi for a long time, can not return, only I Xiaobai is in the Qi country, the country can not be without a king for a day, my Xiaobai is willing to inherit the throne and manage the country!" Wei Dexian held the black silk and read it.

"The new lord, please wait for the ministers!" Guan Zhong suddenly shouted and knelt on the ground, and after Guan Zhong knelt down, the rest of the people also knelt down and shouted: "The new lord, please wait for the ministers!" ”

"Please the new lord to offer incense and worship heaven and earth!" Wei Dexian shouted.

A eunuch walked up to Qi Xiaobai and gave Qi Xiaobai three incense sticks......

Qi Xiaobai took the incense and walked to the huge incense burner in front of him, Wei Dexian shouted again: "Three bows, one to the sky, two to the earth, and three to the brother!" ”

Qi Xiaobai put the incense on the incense burner, and then Wei Dexian shouted again: "Please go west to worship the emperor!" ”

Luoyang is in the west of Qi State, which is the capital of the Zhou Empire, although Qi Xiaobai is the king of a country, but in the final analysis, he is also a courtier of the Zhou Empire, although the current Zhou Empire has gradually declined, and the national strength is not as strong as the Qi State, but the form still has to be done.

Qi Xiaobai faced the west and bowed to the west three times!

"Bi Tu Fu Yuan Huan, Ke Jing Qinmin Huan, Bi Tu and the country said Huan, from now on my name Qi Huan Gong!" Wei Dexian shouted again.

"Qi Huan Gong!" Guan Zhong knelt on the ground again, and the ministers behind him also knelt on the ground.

"When I succeed to the throne today, I want to avenge my brother, kill him with my own hands, and kill my brother's traitor!" Wei Dexian shouted, only to see two soldiers walking in with Cui Hu under their belt, and escorting Cui Hu in front of Qi Xiaobai from the middle aisle.

This scene was specially arranged by Guan Zhong after discussing with Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai wanted to stab the person who killed Qi Zhu in front of the ministers and generals, which meant that Qi Xiaobai avenged his brother.

Cui Hu knelt on the ground, glanced at Qi Xiaobai, and then looked at the ministers below without speaking.

"The Yue country is coming, Xianggong trusts Cui Hu very much, Cui Hu surrendered to the Vietnamese army in order to survive, and murdered Xianggong, the crime deserves death!" Wei Dexian shouted at the ministers.

Then a eunuch walked up to Qi Xiaobai and handed Qi Xiaobai a sharpened knife.

Qi Xiaobai looked at the knife in his hand and looked at Cui Hu, he didn't make a move, and when he discussed with Guan Zhong, he felt that killing people was a very easy thing, but at this time, he really let Qi Xiaobai kill people, Qi Xiaobai was a little unable to do it, from childhood to adulthood, Qi Xiaobai didn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone......

It's much easier to say than to do, but when it comes to doing it, Qi Xiaobai is a little confused.

The knife reached Qi Xiaobai's hand, but Qi Xiaobai's hand trembled, he looked at Cui Hu, Cui Hu closed his eyes, waiting for death, this is the meaning of his death.

His death can make Qi Xiaobai ascend the throne smoothly, and it can be regarded as a successful end to the battle for the crown prince of Qi State, so that Qi State will not be mired in infighting.

Qi Xiaobai looked at the ministers: "Today I want to avenge my brother and kill this traitor!" Qi Xiaobai shouted according to the prepared lines, then held the knife and stabbed Cui Hu, Cui Hu forced his eyes, and the knife went through his throat.

Qi Xiaobai also closed his eyes, his hand trembled, he felt his knife stabbed into Cui Hu's throat, and sighed in his heart, was a person killed by himself like this?

Cui Hu fell to the ground, and Qi Xiaobai looked at it with a numb expression, his body was trembling, this was the first time he had killed someone, but Qi Xiaobai knew that he might have to kill people in the future, and kill many people, this was just the beginning.

After all, from ancient times to the present, how many people did the king kill with his own hands?

Qi Xiaobai killed Cui Hu, and then all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted the name of Duke Qi Huan again.

"Gong Qi Huan...... Qi Huan Gong! The ministers and generals below shouted loudly, and Qi Xiaobai stood in place, listening to the shouts of these 10,000 people with his eyes closed, and an indescribable blood burned in his heart!

In the third year of Emperor Zhou Ren, Qi Xiaobai inherited the title of Duke of Qi by hereditary succession, and was called Duke Qi Huan!
