Chapter 1 Chai Rong ascends the throne

clang……

The melodious bells sounded along with the rays of the morning light and echoed in Kaifeng City. Officials who had already gathered in the office in the yamen immediately rushed to the palace when they heard the bell.

Anyone who understands can guess that the emperor probably passed away last night. After all, there were still shouts of killing in the palace at night, and I don’t know who won. In fact, whether it was Chai Rong or Li Chongjin, it was not important to them.

The palace gate slowly opened, and I saw that the palace servants were all dressed in plain clothes. The palace guards also tied a white silk around their waists. The officials entered one by one and walked slowly towards the Chongyuan Hall along the palace road.

The doors, windows, beams and pillars of Chongyuan Hall have also been wrapped in white silk. Looking around, there is a piece of plain white, and from time to time, scattered paper money floats out of the hall.

All the officials subconsciously bowed their heads and climbed up the steps. On both sides of the hall gate were the handles of soldiers with red scarves tied on their arms, and their waists were straight and energetic.

When I entered the hall, I saw a huge coffin under the Danba. A man next to me stood in plain clothes and holding the coffin. It was not Chai Rong.

When all the officials entered the hall, Li Tingfang came out to read the will. All the officials howled and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times at the coffin. There was always a sound of tears or not.

After the matter was finished, Fan Zhi wiped his tears with his sleeve, stepped forward and bowed: "The country has no king for a day. Please ask Your Highness to ascend the throne to the throne to peace with the people of the world."

Obviously Chai Rong was the winner of the battle for imperial power, and all the officials would not have any objections. Fan Zhi started to come forward and asked Chai Rong to ascend the throne.

"As the crown prince, the emperor of the Great Bank has entrusted the people of the country to me. I have no choice but to accept the throne of the emperor today at the request of all the ministers!"

After Chai Rong said that, he turned around and sat on the dragon throne...

Xu Xian has heard an unverified theory that even if he travels through time, he can change history beyond recognition, let alone he is still a living person with such a little influence.

When Xu Xian heard the thunderous sounds and thunders from the hall, he finally put his heart back in his stomach. History has not changed much, and the common sense he knows is still useful.

The first thing the new emperor needs to do ascend the throne is of course rewarding the ministers. Whether it is a meritorious or not, he must give some benefits. For example, such as the Zhongshu Ling, Ping Zhang, and the Taishi of the Procuratorate, anyone with a little face can get one.

There is no need to worry about those with low positions. Although they cannot be the "Ling Gong", they can also become the honorary rank of the Knight Guard or the scattered official of the Congregational Order.

With the help of following the dragon, Xu Xian naturally had many benefits. I wonder if Chai Rong was compensating him according to Guo Wei's last order, but he was promoted to the fourth squad in front of the palace, which was Zhang Yongde's former official position, and he still asked him to be the head of the Red Troop.

What he didn't expect was that the future inspection of the palace front was unable to stay in the palace front office, and was thrown by Chai Rong to Long Jie Army as the Du Yuhou of the Left Xiang. He, Du Yuhou, was different from the Du Yuhou of Li Chongjin, and there were several levels apart in the middle.

However, this is already a high-ranking official for Zhao Kuangyin, who is only twenty-seven years old. Zhao Hongyin only got this position two years ago after working for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, they were not in the same wing, otherwise they would be directly subordinates.

Looking at Chai Rong who was drinking tea from the back, Xu Xian asked curiously: "Why didn't Your Majesty keep Zhao Kuangyin by his side, but threw him to the imperial guards."

Chai Rong said seriously: "He is a person with real skills, so he must be put outside to temper his skills."

"Uh... Your Majesty means that the people in the Palace Front Secretariat are incompetent."

Chai Rong said bluntly: "In terms of combat power, it is indeed not as good as Long Jie and Hu Jie's army."

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say anything. When the late emperor was there, he valued the front office of the Palace, but his financial resources were limited and his energy was not enough. The front office of the Palace could not hold on. Those who are capable should stay in front of the Palace for their own use."

Chai Rong pondered for a moment but said, "It's all my soldiers, why bother to be close and distant!"

Xu Xian didn't believe that Chai Rong didn't understand the purpose of Guo Wei strengthening the Palace Front Office. Chai Rong said this because he had other plans or something he wanted to change.

"By the way, you go back to Kaifeng Mansion to bring the empress and her son to the palace."

The reason why Chai Rong was called a mother and son was not that Fu had given birth to twins, but that before Fu gave birth, Chai Rong's concubine had already given birth to a son for him, but the concubine died of dying from childbirth, so she was also handed over to Fu for raising her.

Chai Rong has not named this son yet, and Xu Xian speculated that he should be Chai Zongxun. Unfortunately, with Brother Yang here, he is not even qualified to be the emperor's spare tire.

Xu Xian asked someone to prepare a carriage and horse, and took two hundred soldiers with him and rushed to Kaifeng Mansion. There were soldiers in front of and behind the door. When he saw a soldier approaching, he suddenly jumped out, "Who dared to trespass on Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Cui Jiu, you are blind. You haven't seen me for only three months now, but you don't recognize me!"

"Sorry, my eyes are so clumsy, it turns out that I've been back!"

Luo Fubang scolded: "Everything is the head, it's called Dianzhi!"

"I really have achieved enlightenment by one person, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven! Can you see if there is a suitable position in the palace in my palace?"

Luo Fubang kicked Cui Jiu over, "What kind of chickens, dogs, can you talk? The palace has a castrator who has lost toilets, don't you go!"

Cui Jiu was beaten for no reason, and thought to himself that the person who was guarding the emperor was indeed domineering, and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I won't go, I won't go!"

When he entered the government office, Xu Xian turned his head and looked at Luo Fubang and asked with a smile: "Do you have a grudge with Cui Jiu?"

"Qiu Ke has gone to the point of being a big deal. In the past, I set up a stall and sold meat and was exploited by him a lot."

"No wonder!" The two of them walked to the Moon Gate leading to the back yamen and were stopped by the soldiers.

"I came to welcome the Queen into the palace according to His Majesty's will."

The leading military soldier said with a bitter face: "Please forgive me, please forgive me. We have also followed Pan Dianye's orders to get in here. It's natural that it's okay to go in. But this person is not good, otherwise Pan Dianye wants to kill someone, it's really killing!" The military soldier said and gestured to his neck.

Sure enough, people who can be famous in history are not simple. Pan Mei, who usually looks peaceful, is not vague at all when she kills people at critical moments.

Xu Xian went to Houya alone and went straight to the residence where Fu was. She had just finished giving birth and should have been in confinement and could not meet anyone. Xu Xian had to ask the maid guarding the gate to pass the message to Fu, saying that Chai Rong took her into the palace.

Unexpectedly, the maid came out and said that Fu wanted to see him. Then he saw that all the maids and mothers in the room were driven out. Xu Xian followed the maid into the hall and saw Fu sitting in the main seat, next to her personal maid Yulian.

Although it was already April with willow catkins flying, Fu was still wearing a fur and wearing a forehead. Her face was a little swollen after giving birth, but her eyes were very sharp. It was very unkind to stare at Xu Xian directly.

Xu Xian stepped forward and said, "I congratulate you on your highness for your happiness!"
