Chapter 164: Welcome to the New King!

People say that natural disasters are man-made disasters, but in fact, in this era, man-made disasters are sometimes worse than natural disasters, and the most powerful man-made disasters are military disasters.

Once there is a military accident in a certain place, it is the norm for families to be ruined and people die, and what is even more terrifying is that these soldiers do not violate the law by killing people, and you don't even have a place to reason.

The Southwest Army is also a soldier, and it is a soldier of this era, their military discipline is far less strict than that of later generations, and when they enter the capital, it is inevitable that some people will do something wrong, and in just one night, Li Xin received the news of 20 or 30 cases of officers and men of the Southwest Army doing something wrong.

Although the Southwest Army was generally fairly well-behaved, Li Xin still strictly dealt with these soldiers who harassed the people, a total of 27 people, and 24 of them died under the military law of the Southwest Army.

That night, Li Xin returned to live in his Jing'an Hou Mansion, and the next morning, before dawn, he got up early and was in the south of the capital

The gates waited.

It's not just him who went to the South City Gate and waited for others, at this time, the civil and military officials in the capital, except for the house of Shangshutai and another Zaifu, did not arrive, all the officials above the fourth grade were almost eighty percent.

These people are all here to welcome the new king.

Now the situation in the capital has been very clear, Yuan Zhao Tianzi has issued an edict of abdication, just wait for the new emperor to come to the capital, the throne will be handed over, at this time few people will be unable to get along with their own future, after all, everyone is dragging their families with their mouths, can rely on a little integrity, put the family in danger of ruthless people, after all, there are not many.

Even if Li Xin is in the position of a hundred officials in the capital, he will obediently come out to welcome the new monarch in this situation, those who have backbone and integrity are certainly respectable, but these people who bow to life and reality are understandable.

In fact, the vast majority of people in this world are the latter, even if they are not when they are young, they will be slowly polished into this way by society when they are older.

It just so happens that among these court members above the fourth grade, there are very few young people.

Li Xin was wearing the court clothes of the Taifu, standing at the gate of the south gate of the capital, and around the time of the hour, an apricot-colored carriage slowly drove from the official road to the south gate.

The six princes were previously in Luzhou City, Luzhou City was in the west of the capital, and it was supposed to be greeted at the West City Gate, but the West City Gate was bombarded indiscriminately by the Southwest Army for several months, and it was already a mess at this time, and it was really not suitable to welcome the new monarch, so the place was chosen at the South City Gate.

The carriage slowly stopped at the city gate, and Li Xin stepped forward to lift the curtain and took the sixth prince Ji Ying down in the car.

When he was driven out of the capital by Yuan Zhao Tianzi five years ago, he was less than six years old, and now five years have passed, and the sixth prince is only eleven years old.

The eleven-year-old boy, even if he was a little precocious, but still a little ignorant, after he was led off the carriage by Li Xin, he looked at dozens of officials dressed in vermilion and purple, looked at Li Xin in confusion, and asked, "Auntie...... Uncle? ”

Li Xin patted his hand lightly, and his tone was calm: "Your Highness, don't panic, these people are here to greet Your Highness." ”

After speaking, General Li glanced at these ministers and said, "Everyone, the six princes have arrived, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”

As soon as Li Xin's words came out, these people woke up like a dream, knelt on the ground one after another, and bowed to the six princes: "Ministers, I have seen Your Highness......"

The sound wasn't very neat, as there were some discordant sounds in it.

Some people do not address "Your Highness", but directly address "Your Majesty".

At this time, Ji Ying still only has the identity of a sixth prince, and she doesn't even have a prince on her body, kneeling to greet her is already an act of slapping her beard and slapping the horse, and calling "Your Majesty" is not even cheeky at all.

Li Xin frowned slightly, glanced at these people, but did not speak.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Li Xin was holding the arm of the six princes, that is to say, he was standing with the six princes, and these people knelt down to worship the six princes, that is, they were kneeling down to worship Li Xin.

Although the sixth prince is a royal family, he has not seen much of the "world", in this kind of scene, the whole person is a little stunned, and after being stunned for a long time, he stretched out his arm tremblingly: "Everyone...... Princes, get up quickly. ”

Hearing this, these ministers of civil and military affairs got up from the ground together, and their voices were neat.

"Ministers...... Congratulations on Your Highness's return to Beijing. ”

In a state of confusion, the six princes, accompanied by Li Xin, walked along Desheng Avenue and came all the way from the south gate to the imperial city, at this time there were still corpses left in some places in the capital, but as the main road of the capital, Desheng Street, and the entire imperial city had been cleaned up, as magnificent as before.

In this way, the six princes, surrounded by the ministers, came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace in the imperial city.

At this time, the edict on the royal steps was no longer the former eunuch Xiao Zheng, but the eunuch Xiao Huai, who was less than thirty years old, this Xiao eunuch had already taken off his purple clothes at this time, changed into a big red robe, stood on the imperial steps and held the holy decree in his hand, and his voice was high-pitched.

The well-intentioned people in the court have noticed Xiao Huai's red clothes and are aware of the change of power in the inner court.

The holy decree read by Xiao Huai is very simple, to the effect that the emperor of Yuan Zhao will officially abdicate the throne, and three days later, the sixth prince Ji Ying will ascend the throne in Weiyang Palace.

According to the general succession process, three days is a bit too impatient, but because there is no emperor, the new emperor does not have to guard the spirit of the first emperor, so three days is reasonable.

The sixth prince, Ji Ying, was pushed to the throne of Weiyang Palace in a daze, accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, and became the future son of heaven in the Great Jin Dynasty.

And in this process, Yuan Zhao Tianzi never showed up, and no one knew where he went.

According to the rules, after three days, the Son of Heaven should hand over the seal of the Son of Heaven to the new emperor, so that the people in the world will not talk too much, and in the current situation, it is unknown whether Emperor Yuanzhao will cooperate.

But it doesn't matter.

Ram Shu died in the hands of Li Xin, his reputation is already very stinky, if Yuan Zhao Tianzi does not cooperate, it doesn't matter if he forcibly ascends the throne, the great thing is that his reputation stinks a little more.

If there are too many lice, they will not be raised.

Soon, after the worship of the hundred officials was completed, they all withdrew from the Weiyang Palace, and it didn't take long for the six princes who still hadn't come back to their senses left in the Weiyang Palace, as well as General Li, who was dressed in a Taifu robe.

Ji Ying ran down the imperial steps in a panic and came to Li Xin, the young man's face turned a little pale, and his voice trembled: "Uncle...... What the hell is going on? ”

He had been in Sanyin all these years, and after being taken to the southwest by Li Xin, although he vaguely knew what would happen, he knew anything about the Southwest Army's Eastern Expedition, and he didn't know what was going on.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, smiling slightly: "It's very simple, our battle has been won, and you are going to be the emperor." ”

Ji Ying was dazed, suddenly looked up at Li Xin, and shrank and said, "Uncle...... What about the royal brother? ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.

Ji Ying was taken aback by Li Xin's expression, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, don't kill me......"

Li Xin stretched out his hand to support the future son of the Great Jin Dynasty, frowning slightly.

"Don't worry, I should take you."

"It won't kill you."
