Yang Ze gave an order, and the entire Yan army camp immediately took action, although the generals were puzzled as to why they sent troops before dawn, but since they sent troops at this time, it means that something must have happened, and the generals understand this, so even if they are called out of the tent, no one will complain stupidly, they will do whatever the boss tells them to do.

Before dawn, the first team of Yan soldiers set off, and the follow-up generals also lined up, and began to leave the camp one after another, heading for Taiyuan.

However, it is impossible for the Yan army's brigade to run to the city of Taiyuan in less than a day, even if it is not possible to run wildly, the brigade marches, and a single messenger gallops, there is still a difference, but from the time estimate, it will be able to arrive that night, but at that time, whether the army still has combat effectiveness, it is another matter.

Yang Ze also set off with the army after letting his soldiers pack up the necessary things in the big tent, he sat on the back of the horse and kept thinking, whether his plan still has loopholes, whether it will fail, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if there is an accident, then what is the remedy, these must be thought out clearly, if you don't want to be clear, then the consequences are unimaginable.

Yang Ze marched with a large army, not mentioning it for the time being, and talking about Taiyuan City.

The sky was bright, Li Chongjiu put on a dragon robe made in a hurry, the dragon robe was really simple, because the embroiderers did not have time to embroider the dragon pattern completely, so they had to use a pen to paint the dragon on the dragon robe completely, although the color paint is also very good-looking, but the dragon on it is always not as good as the embroidery, so it looks awkward.

Li Chongjiu looked at the dragon robe and thought: "How do you feel like wearing a New Year's painting on your body, my dragon robe is too bad, otherwise I wouldn't wear it!" ”

Wu Youren also put on a new official uniform, his official uniform is easy to find, after all, there are many large and small royal families in Taiyuan City. He is wearing a second-grade official uniform, a civil official uniform of this grade, there are really several in the city, take out any one, and he wears it quite well.

Wu Youren saw the dissatisfaction on Li Chongjiu's face, and said secretly in his heart: "When is it, it doesn't matter if the clothes look good or not, and if you are not a woman, why do you care so much about clothes?" Well, he may be more delicate...... Alas. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many things! ”

Wu Youren said: "Your Majesty, although this dragon robe is a little rougher, it doesn't hurt to look at it from a distance, no one can tell whether it is embroidered or painted, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it, when we go back to Chang'an, then make a few dragon robes!" ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "At that time, the emperor can design the appearance of the dragon robe by himself and let the tailor do it." Just like the first empress, she designed her own dragon robe and wore it by herself, which was different from all the emperors'! ”

Queen Dugu because she is the first empress. Of course, there is no dragon robe that she can wear, and she can only design it herself, in fact, it is still the same, just a men's dragon robe. It's just changed to a women's style.

But when Li Chongjiu heard this, he was very happy, and he said, "Not bad." This is really not in a hurry, and when you return to Chang'an, then everything will be easy to say! ”

Wu Youren saw that he was no longer entangled in the matter of the dragon robe, so he said: "Your Majesty, now let's go to the front, in the lobby of the left-behind mansion, after the emperor accepted the cheers of the military generals, he immediately announced the edict of enthronement to the world, this matter will be counted, as long as the name has been decided, then we will raise troops and return to Chang'an, and things will go much smoother." ”

In terms of events, the real enthronement, as well as the support of troops back to Chang'an, can not be so simple, like the Tang Dynasty's Li Shimin Xuanwumen Mutiny, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao Mutiny, that is all with special historical conditions, are the people who want to usurp the throne in advance for a long time, and finally kick the door, how can it be said that the enthronement will be enthroned, and it will really succeed if you take the soldiers to Beijing?

Of course, this is the Dafang Empire, not the Tang Dynasty, nor the Song Dynasty, Wu Youren doesn't know too much about usurpation, and more importantly, Yang Ze set a very bad example for him, that is, to simplify the enthronement ceremony, and he also set up an empress Caicai who only served for two days, and Yang Ze mainly relied on force, so this created an illusion, making Wu Youren think that as long as he controlled the army, he would help whoever he wanted to ascend the throne, and no one dared to object!

Wu Youren firmly believes that as long as the Jin Wu army controls the army in Taiyuan, then Li Chongjiu ascends the throne, who would dare to oppose it? Even if Chang'an sends troops to suppress it, then it will be a few days later, or even half a month later, and Wu Youren also thinks that if Chang'an learns that Yang Ze is dead, this news is enough to directly scare the emperor and queen in the palace, as well as the long-lived princess Caicai, and send troops to Taiyuan It will be slower, and he protects Li Chongjiu to lead the troops to Chang'an first, maybe he will be caught off guard, and he can really capture Chang'an!

Walking towards the lobby with Li Chongjiu, Wu Youren suddenly sighed softly, thinking: "If Princess Banzai learns about Yang Ze's death, if she can commit suicide and martyrdom, it would be really great, then there is no need to do anything, and the emperor and empress can only be the emperor and the empress dowager, who let them only have Li Chongjiu's son!" ”

Wu Youren looked at Li Chongjiu walking in front of him, he is still an only child, just such a son, he can't do it if the throne is not given to him!

After arriving at the lobby of the left-behind mansion, I saw that the lobby was already full of people, and the courtyard was full of people, almost all the people in Taiyuan City who could get on the stage came, especially the members of the big and small royal families, none of them fell, they all came, even Li Mofeng, the unlucky bastard, also came, and he also desperately squeezed into the lobby, although he was just standing at the door, and there was a threshold behind him, but after all, it was also in the lobby, which was better than standing in the courtyard.

As soon as Li Chongjiu arrived, he heard the officials in Taiyuan shouting together: "Long live the emperor!" ”

As they spoke, they all knelt down, and they all knelt all over the place, and they cried out together: "Hurrah, hooray, hooray!" ”

Li Chongjiu walked to the big chair and sat down, Wu Youren took out the edict he had written and read it out loud, the edict did not have any new tricks, it was still a cliché, basically every emperor ascended the throne, it was such a set of rhetoric.

After reading the edict, Wu Youren said: "Today's ceremony should have given amnesty to the world. And reward all the meritorious ministers, but the emperor has a decree, the title of reward, and the official position in the court in the future, depends on your performance in the battle to defeat the Yan army. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "For everyone's meritorious work, each of you will be upgraded to a higher title, as for whether you can be promoted to a higher title and get a better official position, it depends on the performance of your Aiqing." ”

In fact. For the enthronement ceremony, the most important thing is to seal the meritorious ministers, even if it is a normal emperor, the kind of ceremony where the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne directly, no matter how there are no meritorious ministers, but the new emperor also has to give the ministers a little benefit, for example, to give the elders of the three dynasties an honorary title, and so on. This is a common practice, mainly to make the ministers return to their hearts as soon as possible, unite in front of the new emperor, and serve well.

If it is abnormally seated. For example, Xiangcaicai, Li Yan, and now Li Chongjiu are all not normal emperor handovers, so it is even more important to be crowned as "meritorious ministers". Although the big and small lords present and the officials in Taiyuan did not have any credit, they also had meaning. In this way, everyone can "fight" well in front of the upcoming Yan Army!

But now it has become, everyone must make meritorious contributions, only if they make meritorious contributions, the new emperor will reward everyone, if you face a group of young and middle-aged, then maybe this trick is very good, for example, to Li Mofeng said this kind of thing, then Li Mofeng must work hard to make meritorious contributions, but unfortunately Li Mofeng has just been severely hit.

But now Li Chongjiu is facing a group of big and small lords and low-level bureaucrats who just want to take advantage of the dragon and only need to set up a meritorious service, and they are not interested in meritorious service, so this trick is not very easy to use.

The lobby and the courtyard were full of people who were disappointed, they had all heard that when Yang Ze ascended the throne of the princess of Long Live Princess, it was a great feudal minister, no matter whether he had merit or not, as long as he could run to the Taiji Hall and grab a place to stay, Yang Ze would give a reward very generously, not to mention, even the children and grandchildren of those generals could get a title, and even the old eunuchs in the palace could be mixed with a marquis!

But when they come here, they want everyone to make a meritorious service first, and then come back to be rewarded, how can the big and small lords not be disappointed, if they have the ability to make meritorious contributions or something, can they live for so many years!

However, although the big and small lords are disappointed, but a small part of their children and grandchildren are very excited, and they, like Li Mofeng, are eager to make some contributions, and then add some brilliance and capital to their future careers.

But on the edge of the lobby, Li Mofeng pouted, and wanted to deceive people again, is his own credit still small? But what do you get? I didn't get anything, if you say that you can only be rewarded if you have merit, then you have made merit before, since this is the case, you should reward yourself now, why not?

Therefore, for Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren's words, Li Mofeng should be a fart for them, just puff a little, he doesn't plan to sell Li Chongjiu anymore, on the contrary, if the Yan army wants to gain the upper hand, he even wants to throw it over, long live the princess is very generous to the ministers!

Wu Youren said to the big and small lords and officials: "In a few days, the Yan army will arrive outside the city of Taiyuan, we don't have a few days to prepare, but the emperor has a way to make the Yan army chaotic in front of the formation, and when the Yan army collapses and the soldiers will flee, you will follow the emperor out of Taiyuan and go to Chang'an with the army!" ”

He finished his words in a very passionate tone, but none of the big and small lords and officials below squeaked, and the voices of consent were even rarer, and a lord who stood relatively close even asked in a low voice: "Is it when the Yan army collapsed and the soldiers fled?" ”

Wu Youren glanced at him and thought, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?" But then he sighed, and then he understood, and scolded these guys in his heart for being cowardly, and he really didn't know what the use of asking for these things was, so he had to change his words: "You heard it wrong, this official said that after the Yan army collapsed and the soldiers would flee, it would not be the time!" ”

In fact, what he just said was the occasion, not later, only when the Taiyuan army went out of the city, it was possible to hunt down the Yan army at that time, so as to win a big victory in order to boost morale, and return to Chang'an in one go and seize the throne.

But now that it has become, it will be impossible to improve morale, and it will even make the Taiyuan generals have a kind of only if the enemy has completely escaped, we can go out, otherwise we will be defeated, we can't even defeat the rout, and the generals will have this kind of thought.

Hearing that Wu Youren was forced to change his words, this lord breathed a sigh of relief, and the big and small lords in the lobby also breathed a sigh of relief, and even the officials in the courtyard also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the face of these ministers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but always want to take advantage, Li Chongjiu is really helpless, if it is not that he can no longer find supporters, he doesn't want these guys!

Wu Youren also sighed in his heart, and he said: "Colleagues, now please go to the city and announce to the people the accession of our emperor to the throne." In addition, send more manpower to protect the safety of the people, so that the people will not be too excited when they hear about our emperor's accession to the throne, and then cause the injuries that happened some time ago! ”

After all, Taiyuan is equivalent to Li Chongjiu's base, and the support of the people on this side has become extremely important, and the future source of soldiers, as well as financial revenue, is an important support for Li Chongjiu, who knows if he can succeed soon to seize power in Chang'an, if it drags on for a month or two, the money is spent like a stream, then the basis of Taiyuan is very important.

The big and small lords and officials immediately agreed, and after shouting again, long live, they all left the Stay-behind Mansion, what should they do.

Li Chongjiu sat on the chair, he also felt a little lost, this enthronement ceremony, it was too hasty, although it was because of the haste of the incident, but it was too simple, there was no momentum, and even the music was saved, this was almost not an enthronement ceremony, it could only be said that it was announced, he Li Chongjiu established himself as the emperor.

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and said to Wu Youren: "Wu Aiqing, do you think that the matter of ancestor worship is placed after defeating the Yan army, or today?" ”

For such a major event as the emperor's accession to the throne, if you don't hold a ceremony to worship your ancestors and don't say a word to your ancestors, it will be illegal, so Li Chongjiu is still very concerned about this.

Wu Youren frowned slightly, this kind of major event must not be avoided, fortunately, Taiyuan is the land of the dragon of the Dafang Empire, and the Li family ancestral temple is in Taiyuan, there is no problem with the sacrifice, and it is even more convenient to hold than Chang'an.

Regarding the legitimacy of the emperor, this must not be sloppy, Wu Youren gritted his teeth and said: "After the ministers announce to the people that the emperor has ascended the throne, the emperor will take the civil ministers and military generals, as well as a group of city elders, let's go to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors, as long as you act faster, there should be no danger, the Yan army can't arrive so quickly!" ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and nodded, he also thought so, although the ancestral temple was outside the city, if he acted faster, and took advantage of the fact that the Yan army had not yet arrived, he would do a good job of the sacrifice, then there should be no danger.

If you don't worship your ancestors for a moment, you won't be sure of your heart for a moment! (To be continued......)
